As the U.S. prepares for high-stakes nuclear negotiations with Iran, seasoned diplomat Ben Brownwell finds himself navigating a labyrinth of political ambition and betrayal. A leak from within his own ranks threatens to undermine the fragile talks, while whispers of Iran’s shadowy “Immortals” unit—an elite force tasked with covert sabotage—hint at darker forces at play.
For Kate Sinclair, a British intelligence officer with unparalleled resolve, the stakes are just as personal as they are professional. Her investigation into Iranian sleeper cells operating in Europe reveals a chilling connection to a broader plot. From the halls of Washington to the streets of Budapest, Ben and Kate must untangle a web of sabotage, disinformation, and deadly alliances to prevent the negotiations from ending in disaster.
As the clock ticks down, a U.S. Senator becomes a prime target, and the balance of power teeters on the edge. In a world where secrets are weapons, and alliances are fragile, Ben and Kate must confront not only their adversaries but the limits of their own principles.
Meticulously crafted and politically charged with tension that mirrors real-world headlines and characters, Diplomatic Tangle is a page-turning exploration of power, loyalty, and the hidden machinations shaping global diplomacy.
A hasty act, committed by a distraught American soldier seeking his version of justice, kills the grandson of a powerful Afghan Minister. Seeking retribution, the honor bound Afghan asks his Iranian allies to enact revenge, inflicting pain on American civilians. On a day reserved for celebration, the attackers plan a daring, suicidal attack on one unsuspecting American Main Street. Boldly unraveling this plot in the midst of America’s longest war is an American diplomat, Ben Brownwell.
Using his sharp diplomatic skills and the help of a beautiful British diplomat, Ben races against time to protect innocent Americans. Never knowing that his enemies are closer than he realizes, or that the attackers are driven by their own pursuit of glory and misguided faith, Ben assembles an incomplete picture of an attack no one could ever expect. Harboring disbelief that a diplomat could discover what U.S. Intelligence missed and hampered by inflexible bureaucrats, Ben bends the rules to do the right thing.
Careening towards an explosive confrontation in the center of America with far-reaching consequences, ordinary and extraordinary people from different cultures, backgrounds, and religions fashion their own form of retribution. Each man and woman, driven by motivations as unique as their own fingerprint, must decide how far they will go to ensure they achieve their own form of proportional justice.In Proportional Response, Tim Enright examines what happens when no side is entirely right, but someone must still act. The first novel in his political thriller series, this book lays the foundation for the world of Ben Brownwell—with the moral and ethical dilemmas and choices that define our modern world.
