Sam Guthrie writes international political thrillers based on his experience working at the nexus of business, politics, and international diplomacy.
His character-driven fiction explores the human desires and frailties that shape world-altering events, drawing on an insider’s knowledge of the machinations of power, political intrigue, and the geostrategic challenges confronting the global order.
Prior to publishing his first novel, The Peak, Sam had a twenty-five-year career in international relations, serving as a trade envoy to China, an Asia Pacific corporate affairs adviser and political lobbyist, and a senior government official.
He has worked extensively across Europe, the US and Asia, and has spent close to a decade living and working in Shanghai, Hong Kong and Prague. He has a master’s degree in international relations.
