Jason Pinter (born November 10, 1979) is an American author known for his thriller novels.
Before becoming a writer, he worked for Warner Books, Random House, and St. Martin's Press as a book editor. He was signed to write seven novels in his Henry Parker series almost immediately after having his first book published. Pinter has stated that he wishes to continue writing as many Henry Parker novels as possible given that Henry has "many stories left to tell".
