Alan Refkin

ALAN REFKIN is an internationally acclaimed, award-winning author.

The Puppeteer, the sixth book in the Mauro Bruno Detective series, was just published.


Knowing its oil reserves will be depleted by the end of the next decade, Saudi Arabia has implemented a strategic plan to maintain its global economic and geopolitical dominance. To avoid raising suspicions about the diminishing size of their oil reserves, they’ve carefully managed their export levels. As a result, the world is largely unaware of the impending decline in the Saudi oil supply, despite a recent statement from one of their ministers that all resources extracted from the earth are finite and will eventually run out.

Consequently, for the past decade, the Saudis have been secretly implementing a plan to transition to an alternative asset that the global community cannot do without. This operation has been conducted slowly and discreetly by an individual known only as “the Puppeteer,” the name reflecting their ability to manipulate nations, carry out assassinations, and orchestrate events to ensure the success of Saudi Arabia’s transition strategy. However, when Mauro Bruno’s investigation into the anomalies caused by this mysterious figure begins to unravel the Saudi plan before it can be fully implemented, threatening to destroy a decade of meticulous work, Bruno and his partners find themselves running for their lives while attempting to gather the evidence needed to expose the Saudi plan.
