Wyman Ford

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wyman Ford is a fictional character found in many of the solo novels by American author Douglas Preston.

Background

Ford was an agent in the Central Intelligence Agency for several years, all prior to his first appearance in literature. His wife was also a CIA agent, but she was killed when a car they were in during a stakeout in Cambodia was bombed. Ford became depressed and spent some time in a Benedictine monastery (The Monastery of Christ in the Desert) near Tewa-Towa Pueblo and Jicarilla Apache country in the American Southwest. Eventually, after 30 months, he left the monastery and started his own private investigation firm.

The events in Tyrannosaur Canyon occur during his time in the monastery and the events in Blasphemy mark the first assignment of his investigation agency. Ford's investigative work continues in Impact.

Wyman Ford is a devout Catholic, though he has struggled with his faith since the death of his wife.
