Mark Unterberg’s Thriller “Bigger Game” Makes Its London Book Fair Debut

This spring, from March 10-12, Mark Unterberg’s debut novel, “Bigger Game,” will be showcased at the London Book Fair 2026 at The Maple Staple, Stand #6A100. Set against the scenic yet tension-filled backdrop of the San Juan Islands, this fast-paced thriller follows Sheriff Stewart as he investigates a series of mysterious deaths, uncovering a Navy-backed scientific initiative designed to engineer peace in the Middle East through controversial methods.

As espionage, morality, and high-stakes decision-making collide, “Bigger Game” pulls readers into a world where ordinary lives intersect with global consequences. Unterberg’s narrative keeps audiences on edge with shocking twists, ethical dilemmas, and a relentless pace—making it a must-read for thriller enthusiasts attending the Fair.

The tension and psychological depth of the story are backed up by Unterberg’s decades of experience as a psychiatrist and psychoanalyst. His service as a lieutenant commander and division psychiatrist at Camp Lejeune, along with consulting roles for the Dallas Cowboys, Dallas Mavericks, Texas Rangers, and WWE, provides him with a unique insight into human behavior under pressure. Unterberg has also contributed chapters to leading medical textbooks, bringing this expertise into his fiction. He lives in Dallas with his wife and is a devoted father.

Attendees of the London Book Fair are invited to visit The Maple Staple at Booth #6A100 to experience this gripping debut firsthand. With its dynamic characters, suspenseful plot, and morally complex storylines, “Bigger Game” promises to engage, challenge, and thrill readers from the very first page.
