The Sunset Conspiracy

"Together, Adams and Robbins make a formidable pair narrowly avoiding danger at every pass of Hadden's appealing novel…"—Kirkus Reviews

They were never meant to trust each other…then murder gave them no choice.

John Grisham's THE FIRM meets Taylor Sheridan's LANDMAN in this murder mystery that escalates into a shockingly plausible high-stakes geopolitical thriller about the cost one man is willing to pay to avenge his friend's death and change the balance of power and wealth in the world.

The future of energy has a body count…

Inside a dark Colombian warehouse, an executive in one of the largest oil companies in the world, the father of two young children, is murdered in what's called a failed kidnapping attempt. Three-thousand miles away, on a rock wall in New Mexico, a renowned environmental scientist and experienced climber falls to his death, and whispers of a connection are ignored.

When oilman Nathan Robbins refuses to deliver his CEO's implausible explanation of his friend's death to his mentor's young family, he promises them that he'll find the truth. Suddenly pulled into a world where loyalty is a liability, and the truth is a death sentence, he follows the trail of secrets and lies to New Mexico where he's forced to form an uneasy alliance with a determined environmental engineer who despises everything he represents.

Trapped between Nathan's greedy CEO and a ruthless US Senator, they race from high in the New Mexico wilderness to the heart of the U.S. Senate to uncover a hidden breakthrough that will end global warming and put Big Oil, the US government, and the most elusive but deadly club on the planet on a collision course with the truth.

But first they must find the key to their survival at the birthplace of the most powerful force the world has ever known—and stay alive to tell their story.

Written by an oil insider, The Sunset Conspiracy is a heart wrenching high stakes thriller so shockingly close to reality that it will keep you on the edge of your seat until its breathtaking conclusion.
