Jeff Macfee is the author of the forthcoming crime novel The Contest (February, 2025). He writes about ordinary people who do their best but make things worse. When he’s not writing he’s doing IT things and asking you to turn it off and on again. He lives in North Texas with his wife and three kids.
“Like Willy Wonka if it was written by Hitchcock… LOVE THE BOOK. Seriously, it is SO GOOD.”
– Stephen Blackmoore, author of Dead Things
“The Contest sports a fun story that does what my favorite crime novels do – transport me to an unfamiliar world and weave in a page-turning mystery. Jeff Macfee does not disappoint with this crackling debut.”
– Alex Segura, bestselling and acclaimed author of Secret Identity and Alter Ego
“Jeff Macfee drops the reader into a hall of mirrors with no way out. A singular book.”
– Adam Oyebanji, author of A Quiet Teacher
“A mystery wrapped inside a riddle inside an enigma, The Contest is a clever puzzle box of a book. An intrigue-filled, cerebral theme park provides the setting for an affecting tale about finding one’s worth after defeat, and Macfee’s storytelling instantly drew me in from the first page.”
– Victor Manibo, author of The Sleepless and Escape Velocity
“A brilliant page-turner about obsession, compromise, child prodigies, and second chances, all set in a world where Willy Wonka made escape rooms rather than chocolate bars, The Contest is my favorite thing I’ve read this year.”
– Peter Clines, New York Times Bestselling author of The Broken Room and Paradox Bound
“The Contest is a thrilling suspenseful mind bending adventure.”
– S.A. Cosby best selling author of All the Sinners and Razorblade Tears
