About the Author

Jim Sloan is a seasoned investigative journalist and author whose work delves into the shadowy intersections of crime, technology, and human resilience. With over two decades of experience reporting on high-stakes events for major publications, Sloan brings a meticulous eye for detail and an unflinching commitment to uncovering hidden truths. His debut book, Render Safe: The Untold Story of the Harvey's Bombing, chronicles the harrowing 1980 incident at the Harvey's Resort Hotel in Stateline, Nevada, where a sophisticated extortion bomb tested the limits of law enforcement's ingenuity and bravery. Drawing from exclusive interviews, declassified documents, and on-the-ground research, Sloan's narrative not only reconstructs the tense 15-day siege but also explores the broader implications of domestic terrorism in an era of emerging threats. A native of the American West, Sloan resides in Reno, Nevada, where he continues to write about the region's untold stories.
