A Chance Encounter Becomes a Dangerous Game in Russell Marks' The Meeting

Author Russell Marks delivers a gripping, character-driven thriller with The Meeting, a suspense novel that explores how a single moment can permanently alter the course of a life. Set for release in March 2025, the book will be available in hardcover and is written for an adult audience.
Set across France, Italy, and Germany, The Meeting follows characters drawn into a sophisticated and secretive world of international business, power, and deception. What begins as an exciting opportunity to live and work abroad slowly unravels into a web of danger, betrayal, and moral compromise. As relationships deepen and loyalties are tested, the characters must confront the reality that not all opportunities come without a price.

Marks' storytelling is grounded in authenticity, shaped by his extensive travel throughout Europe. His time spent hiking through the Tuscany region of Italy inspired the novel's setting and atmosphere, blending Europe's beauty with an ever-present sense of unease. Extensive research into European regions and cultures further strengthens the realism of the story.

Rather than relying on traditional literary influences, Marks focuses on straightforward, immersive storytelling that places readers directly into each scene. The result is a fast-paced narrative that balances suspense with emotional depth, making The Meeting both thrilling and personal.
While The Meeting stands firmly on its own, it is also the beginning of a larger story. Marks confirms that Book Two, The Underboss, is currently in development and scheduled for release in Fall 2025, continuing the narrative arc introduced in his debut.

No promotional events are scheduled at this time.
