Karen Cleveland is an American writer specialized in espionage thrillers and psychological suspense. Before fully dedicating herself to fiction, she worked as an analyst at the CIA, an experience that clearly influences the atmosphere and themes of her novels. She debuted in 2018 with Need to Know (2018), a work that became an international bestseller. She subsequently published Keep You Close (2019), You Can Run (2021), and The New Neighbor (2022), all solely authored by her. Her works focus on female protagonists faced with moral dilemmas within contexts of surveillance, betrayal, and state secrets.

Cleveland's books fall within the thriller genre with a strong emotional charge and elements of domestic espionage. Her plots are distinguished by a brisk pace, a focus on personal relationships, and a realistic backdrop provided by her professional experience. To date, she has not been recognized with significant literary awards, but has achieved notable international projection, with translations into several languages and audiovisual adaptation projects.
