About The Black Sea Gambit

The Black Sea Gambit plunges Interpol agent Brian O’Sullivan into a deadly race across Europe when his infant daughter is kidnapped and his love partner, Nina von Scholz, is taken hostage. Still recovering from a heart attack, Brian follows a trail from Rotterdam to Kaliningrad to Sochi, where the captives are held by ruthless operatives linked to Ivan Sokolov—a powerful FSB agent, art dealer, and Brian’s half-brother. As whispers of a covert Kremlin plot to seize Crimea emerge from the shadows of Gelendzhik Palace, Brian and Erick join forces with a new CIA team for a high-risk rescue aboard the oligarch-owned superyacht Catherine the Great. But every move draws him deeper into a world of deception, divided loyalties, and impossible choices —where one mistake could cost him his family and help ignite a war. Fast-paced, emotionally charged, and steeped in international intrigue, The Black Sea Gambit delivers a tense, cinematic thriller about blood ties, betrayal, and the price of survival in the dangerous days before history turns.

Peter J. Marzano, the son of Irish and Italian immigrants, was born in New York City’s artistic neighborhood, Greenwich Village, and grew up on Staten Island.

After attending Staten Island Community College, he worked for the NY Telephone Company and completed a four-year trade union apprenticeship. He then began a career in sales, sales management, and project management with divisions of General Dynamics, United Technologies, and AT&T, and later as VP of Sales and Marketing for an industrial company in New England. His work spanned forty-five years, during which he traveled nationally and internationally for twenty-one of those years. In 1997, while with AT&T, he received a Master’s in Management from Cambridge College in Cambridge, MA.

Marzano is the father of four and grandfather of eleven. He has been married to his high school sweetheart, Kathleen (Coyle), for over 53 years. When he isn’t writing, Peter enjoys golfing, family and wildlife photography, and playing cards and chess with grandchildren. He and his wife live in Durham, Connecticut.
