Alex Ward has left the CIA behind. Now her former life is calling her back.
A billionaire’s plan to save the planet threatens millions. Drawn into a conspiracy reaching the American presidency, Ward must stop him before his intervention changes the world forever.
A political and espionage thriller by Matt Topfer.
Hi, I’m Matt, author of Intervention, a political and espionage thriller featuring former CIA operative Alex Ward.
The idea began in my day job as a brand strategy consultant. Working with Zoos Victoria introduced me to the pressures facing threatened species—and prompted a disturbing question: what might happen if someone with immense wealth decided that saving the planet justified an unforgivable act?
During Melbourne’s lockdowns, that question became a novel.
I love thrillers that combine the escape of a good story with uncomfortable connections to the world around us. In Intervention, those connections run through political manipulation, environmental pressure and the danger of unchecked conviction.
I live on Australia’s Mornington Peninsula with my wife and four children. Away from writing, I work with businesses on their brands and positioning.
I hope you enjoy meeting Alex Ward.
