‘You might find a more articulate and meticulously plotted thriller than Marvin Wiebener’s The Moriah Ruse, but I doubt it. There are times when you’ll feel like a fly on the wall rather than an enthralled reader.” —Craig Johnson, author of The Cold Dish and Junkyard Dogs “What starts out as a light prairie breeze, Wiebener masterfully spins into an Oklahoma twister that can’t be ignored as this tale of espionage and politics moves powerfully from one harrowing event to the next. If you like intrigue, The Moriah Ruse should be your next read.” —Ed Miles, Ph.D., Director of Psychology, “I was initially attracted to The Moriah Ruse because it features female protagonists in a profession seemingly dominated by men. Wiebener, however, has taken the 007 myth out of espionage and replaced it—and Bond—with real people doing a thankless job under impossible conditions. This is a great novel, one you’ll want to read more than once.” —Susan Damron Krug, Assistant Attorney General, “Wiebener’s first book, The Margin, was great! A fantastic story with regular folks as characters that were extraordinary in their roles. Now comes The Moriah Ruse and some of those same characters from The Margin jump at the opportunity to serve their country. This story and the way Wiebener brings out the best in those ‘regular folks’ will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.” —Phillip Dan, Houston, TX |

“CIA Director Margaret Winters attended the morning intelligence briefing in the situation room as she’d done every day since Iran’s president made public his threat to wipe Israel off the map.
Facing her was the very real and complex nature of her nearly impossible task to provide the president of the United States, who was under pressure to intercede, with actionable information. The president makes it clear that no American combatant will set foot on, fly over, or park a naval ship off the Iranian coast until absolute and irrefutable proof exists that Iran is an imminent threat. What happens next is a grueling, dangerous, and heart-wrenching quest for intelligence that could cost lives but stop a world war. Winters has her marching orders; trouble is, a senior CIA official, along with an overly ambitious congressman, wants the director to fail. Aware of her detractors’ wishes, Winters crafts a plan to secure proof the president needs that bypassed the customary collection and analysis of raw intelligence.
Her proposal shocks everyone in the tight circle of those with a need-to-know, and when the plan appears to go terribly wrong, she must take matters into her own hands. With the lives of a patriotic few caught in a clandestine mission, those keeping us safe, people whose stories will likely never be told, face dire straits in hopes of preventing the unthinkable, a war unlike any seen before. Hope teases all involved with the birth of a plan so incredible it just may work—The Moriah Ruse.”

Demonstrating a strong understanding of three cultures, rural Oklahoma, political Washington D.C. and repressive, misogynistic Iran, a story of heartfelt patriotism, self-serving deceit and intrigue is told. Exciting and fast-paced, Mr. Wiebener's ability to write dialogue in a believable manner creates characters of depth and detail. If you have not read his first, The Margin, reading The Moriah Ruse will make you want get your hands on it next!” —Dean Montgomery, Ph.D. “This is definitely an author I have added to my watch list! I loved his first book and his second was no exception. I couldn’t put it down once I started it. The Moriah Ruse is so suspenseful and timely, given the current issues in Iran.” —C.
