Synopsis

A highly topical thriller about a secret raw material agreement between three superpowers – the debut of a new German thriller talent. Exploding crude oil prices, a trillion-dollar contract, assassinations round the world, dubious informants and an unscrupulous Chinese secret service general: Trias is about a secret agreement between superpowers hungry for raw materials. But shortly before the agreement is to be signed at the G8 economic summit in Marienstrand in Germany, a number of assassinations take place before the very eyes of international security agencies, rocking the governments in Washington, Berlin and Moscow. Who is masterminding the attacks? As an undercover agent of the Federal German Police Bureau, Markus Croy plunges deep into the quagmire of power games, intrigues and cold calculation. In the process, he finds not only a trail of blood leading to Peking; he also comes into contact with the most dangerous right-wing organisation Germany has ever known. For Croy, the security agencies, organisers and secret agencies, the events and investigations prior to the beginning of the G8 summit turn into a dramatic race against time. But then there is the one joker no one is expecting … Press ""A story as gripping as the future. A book that thinks ahead – while the likes of us are still busy with the here and now."" Dominik Graf, film director ""No, this is not fantasy. This is a reality that will chill you to the bone. And this book is one more thing: it is quite simply exciting!"" Thomas Roth, Chief ARD Correspondent in Moscow “A breath-taking scenario about a real threat that no one presently knows how to avert. And about a pursuit, which considering the world-wide competition for the dramatic shortage of raw materials no longer seems impossible.” Top five “The astute mixture of reality and fiction makes this book an equally exciting and bewildering interplay for fans of political thrillers and mysteries.” Märkische Allgemeine Zeitung “His political thriller might be called realistic fiction, or maybe fictional reality – regardless, the author amply orients himself on actual lines of developmental, making use of everyday themes and facts where any clear separation of fiction and reality becomes blurred.” Ostsee-Zeitung Author After working 14 years as an editor and variously head of editorial departments at the ""Süddeutsche Zeitung"", ""Financial Times Deutschland "" (portraits), DIE ZEIT (""I have a dream""), ""Weltwoche"" in Zürich (interviews), as well as for a number of TV channels and productions, Marc Kayser has now turned to writing novels. ""Trias"" is his first work, and he is already working on a sequel.
