Russell Marks Launches New Thriller Series with The Meeting

Author Russell Marks makes a powerful debut with The Meeting, the first novel in a planned thriller series rooted in international intrigue, complex characters, and the hidden dangers of global business. The book is scheduled for release in March 2025 and will be available in hardcover.

Shaped by Marks' extensive travel throughout Europe, The Meeting draws readers into a sophisticated world spanning France, Italy, and Germany. Marks' experiences-particularly hiking through the Tuscany region of Italy-inspired both the setting and the reflective tone of the novel, blending scenic beauty with an undercurrent of tension and risk.

The story centers on a life-altering encounter that pulls its characters into a secretive international network where trust is fragile and consequences are permanent. As relationships deepen and threats emerge, the line between opportunity and danger becomes increasingly blurred.

Marks faced the challenge of researching multiple European countries, cultures, and systems while maintaining narrative momentum-a balance he achieves through immersive detail and tightly paced storytelling. While the novel stands on its own, it is also the foundation for a broader narrative arc.
Written for an adult audience, The Meeting is designed to leave readers wanting more-and it does. Marks confirms that a sequel, The Underboss, is already in progress, with a projected release in Fall 2025, continuing the story begun in Book One.

At present, no book signings or promotional events are scheduled.

With The Meeting, Russell Marks establishes himself as a new voice in international thriller fiction, launching a series that promises to expand in scope, intensity, and intrigue.
