Overview

Black Garnet is a grounded espionage thriller that explores how power, influence, and truth operate beneath the surface of official narratives. When a covert intelligence operation tied to a rare mineral resource begins to unravel, former RCMP officer Tim Murphy is drawn into a shadow network that spans borders, criminal syndicates, and government interests. What begins as a contained investigation quickly escalates into a global game of leverage and deception, where no player is entirely clean and every decision carries lasting consequences. Blending realistic trade-craft with geopolitical tension, Black Garnet favors authenticity over spectacle. The story unfolds through disciplined pacing, moral ambiguity, and character-driven stakes rather than exaggerated action, offering a credible portrayal of modern intelligence work and its human cost. Set across multiple international locations, the novel examines the blurred line between duty and compromise, asking how far institutions - and individuals - will go to protect strategic advantage. The result is a tightly controlled thriller that rewards attentive readers with nuance, realism, and a steadily building sense of unease. Black Garnet will appeal to readers of contemporary espionage fiction who value plausibility, ethical complexity, and globally relevant themes.
