Wyman Ford

Wyman Ford

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 was bombed. Ford became depressed and spent some time in a Benedictine monastery near Navajo country in the American Southwest. Eventually, 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.

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