Marlo Hayes is good at reading systems.
At Lockheed, that makes him the kind of project manager who can spot hidden inefficiencies, anticipate resistance, and see patterns nobody else notices. In his former life, those same gifts made him something far more dangerous: a CIA strategist who knew how to identify the pressure points that could destabilize governments.
He thought that life was over.
Then a coded message from Miami reaches him with a warning tied to Ecuador, a dead contact, and a past operation whose consequences are no longer staying buried. As former teammates begin to disappear, Marlo discovers the most intimate betrayal of all: his wife, Sarah, the woman he built a quiet suburban life with, has spent seven years reporting on him as part of a deep-cover surveillance mission.
Now husband and wife are on the run, hunted by overlapping intelligence interests and forced to decide whether anything real can survive a marriage built on deception.
To stay alive, Marlo must become the man he was trying to leave behind. But The Leverage Point is more than a chase thriller. It is a novel about unintended consequences, the weaponization of human systems, and the possibility that the only way to break a cycle of manipulation is to confront the truth at its source.
For readers who like their thrillers smart, morally charged, and grounded in the real mechanics of power, The Leverage Point delivers espionage with depth, velocity, and bite.
