Author Russell Marks Releases International Thriller The Meeting

Spokane, WA - December 2025 - Author Russell Marks announces the release of his debut novel, The Meeting, now available in hardback format. Drawing from his extensive travel experience across Europe, Marks delivers a high-stakes narrative set primarily in France, Italy, and Germany.
The Meeting introduces readers to a complex web of business intrigue, international assignments, and dangerous entanglements. The story begins when a Stanford graduate, Victoria Jackson, is recruited into an elite global accounting firm that handles high-risk clients and sensitive financial data across Europe. As she settles into her new life in Lyon, France, she meets Thomas Avery, a young American traveler. Their paths intersect under suspicious circumstances that raise questions about the firm's true motives and Victoria's safety.
The inspiration for the novel stemmed from the author's personal travels through the Tuscany region and broader Europe, where the cultural backdrop and historical richness informed the book's setting. Research challenges were a notable part of the process, especially in capturing the nuances of each location authentically.
Aimed at adult readers, The Meeting is a character-driven thriller that combines corporate espionage with themes of trust, identity, and personal freedom. While the book is a standalone story, it sets the foundation for a follow-up novel, The Underboss, expected in Fall 2026.
