Tipping Point

by Tomas Byrne

Overview

AN ECO POLITICAL THRILLER

Ex-US State Department terrorism analyst, Joe Hawkins, and ex-MI6 psychiatrist, Kate Farrow, are whistleblowers wanted by the US and UK authorities—wanted for divulging information relating to a corrupt arms-for-oil deal. Exiled from their homelands, separated from the people they once knew, they are hunted and on the run.

When Joe and Kate learn of the mysterious events unfolding at the headquarters of a prominent environmental group, they know it’s their last chance to fight back. Their journey takes them to the Lost Coast of California and on to an American Indian reservation in the Badlands. Only if they can prevent the loss of innocent life and expose the corporate and government forces conspiring against them, can they stop running.

Tipping Point is a powerful and complex story of intrigue and deceit that takes readers on a ride into the dark politics of climate change.

EDITORIAL REVIEWS

"Tomas Byrne scores again with an important and relentless political thriller that will have you pondering conspiracy theories long into the night... Byrne paints landscapes that even masters like Cormac McCarthy would be proud of. The result is a book that is both wholly engrossing and gorgeous." --bestthrillers.com

"The world of Byrne's novel is balanced on the edge of a cliff--and its story will hold readers captive for as long as it takes for that world to right itself. A tautly written thriller propelled by sharp writing and an ever complicating plot." --Kirkus Reviews
