What the reviewers wrote:
Treachery in Tabari is an action-packed thriller that gets its hooks into you from the first page and refuses to let go until the end. Author Dirk Marks weaves an intricate plot full of twists and turns to keep readers glued to the pages. Filled with suspense, action, and political intrigue, the narrative races by at a blistering pace without a single hitch.
If you're a fan of TV shows like Homeland, you're going to love Treachery in Tabari. Overall, I had an absolute blast reading it. Recommended to readers who love political thrillers.
- Pikasho Deka for Readers' Favorite
Very vivid to anyone who knows the U.N. area and the nightmare of traffic at that time each year. NYPD is on the case as they certainly would be and the author shows how an NYPD detective would operate and depicts various parts of the city. Good characters. Very well researched.

What readers said:
“I enjoyed the story and found it fascinating and very believable. Once I got started reading it, I could not put it down.”
“Completely immersed in the story. Could totally visualize the characters. Excellent detail. Looking forward to the next one.”
“A real page-turner! Full of suspense, great characters in my favorite New York City setting. Well written with an unexpected end.”
“Dirk completely captures the setting of the UN General Assembly, and weaves this into a historically accurate and interesting tale of diplomacy and corruption. Characters are well developed and authentic. There are a number of unexpected (but foreshadowed) twists and turns that keep you guessing. Treachery in Tabari is a very engrossing read.”
“This book had a very interesting plot. It starts by immediately jumping into the action, which is a great way to start. I also enjoyed how the book included the other language. That was a unique and interesting aspect. The book kept me engaged throughout.”
