The Krubera Conspiracy Kindle Edition
As it turns out, quite a lot.
Ross and Damon Fraser are brothers on an elite caving team attempting a new world depth record, but the wheels come off the moment they arrive in the tiny breakaway republic of Abkhazia. Akhar Kutsnia, head of the country’s shadowy intelligence network, throws them in prison and gives them an ultimatum.
Damon, a lawyer for the CIA, will remain on the surface to ferret out who is meddling with Abkhazia’s upcoming election, while Ross continues down the cave with the team. If Damon refuses to help, or is unsuccessful, Ross will not make it out of the cave alive.
Thrust into Kutsnia’s murky world of covert ops, Damon teams up with Kari Howland, an analyst out of the CIA’s London office. Together, as the election ticks ever closer, they begin to peel back the layers of a deadly conspiracy.

About the author

Want some authentic crime fiction novels – look no further.
Award-winning author Jeff Buick writes fast paced fiction filled with twists you won’t see coming. Lethal people (the bad guys of course) lurk in Jeff’s Boston crime series, but Curtis Westcott and his team of detectives are ready for any murder mystery that comes at them.
The Westcott series is action packed suspense, perfect for readers who love Michael Connelly books, especially the Bosch series. 'A Killing Game', the first in the series, won the 2021 International Thriller Writers “Best original ebook”, and is a “can’t put it down” suspense thriller. And new for 2024, 'The Vulture Fund', the 3rd in the series is a finalist for the 2024 ITW award.
Then there’s the Bobby Greco series, where a disgraced Orlando Homicide cop tackles a very twisted bad guy in the series opener, 'One is Evil'.
Jeff’s latest standalone novel, 'The Krubera Conspiracy', rifles along at a face pace and is a globe-trotting mix of thriller and suspense.
Coming soon - 'The Reluctant Truth' - a multigenerational drama that in 2024 pits two men in a battle for something their ancestors fought over in the final days of World War II.
Jeff is a Canadian author who loves to read and is always searching for a remarkable new novel, especially book club novels. He devours Tana French books, along with new offerings from Louise Penny and Mary Stone.

- Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2024This book has a slow start, and I almost put it down. Don't. Once it gets moving it's a page turner. There are two distinct stories going, related but separate. Each has their own plots and subplots and a well developed cast of characters. I'm glad I didn't abandon it, and you will be too.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2023I recently devoured the books by Jeff Buick. He is a brilliant writer. Each word is precisely written. His characters are well thought and believable. His descriptions tell you what you need to know. Once I start his books, I read to the final page, and then I am so sorry it has ended.
He does an amazing amount of research so you happily learn things you didn't realize you wanted to know. Please read his books because I know you will enjoy them.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2022Buick has crafted an excellent story. The characters are solid and believable. I couldn't put it down. Well worth reading.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2022Part action/adventure, part conspiracy thriller, The Krubera Conspiracy is wonderfully plotted and will have your heart racing and your mind working just as hard. This type of thriller is a little bit outside my wheelhouse, but Jeff Buick's writing is not, so I wasn't surprised when his descriptive writing paired with relatable characters drew me in. Don't get me wrong, I am not a CIA lawyer or part of Abkhazia's intelligence network, and I definitely am not a caver. I googled Krubera cave, and that place is terrifying. Anyway, what I'm getting at is that there is pretty much zero chance of me walking in these characters' shoes, but Buick makes them wonderfully human. His good guys are good without being perfect or superhero-like, and his bad guys are bad without being the cliched guy in the black hat twirling his mustache. People are layered, and we see that here.
Damon and Ross are good examples of that. One's a lawyer and the other a brand-new doctor. We find out early that they like adrenaline, hence the caving, and the thought crossed my mind several times that these brothers are getting more than they bargained for on this trip. There's even a bit of a family theme in with all the action and adventure because it doesn't matter that Damon doesn't have the clearance for what he's supposed to do or that Ross has to continue on with the trip like everything's okay. What matters is that both will do whatever it takes to get through this, to get each other through this, because that's what we do for those we love - and that's as close to a spoiler as I'm gonna get.
I mentioned earlier that this book was outside my wheelhouse, but it would've been exactly my husband's kind of read. The story is full of intrigue and action, it's a little political, and it's current. It's reminiscent of the Tom Clancy and WEB Griffin books hubby faithfully read as soon as they released, and in my opinion, it stands toe to toe with any in the genre. The story is exciting and engaging, the pacing keeps the pages turning long past bedtime, and I'd say this is one that would translate well to the big screen. It just goes to show that stepping outside your wheelhouse is a good thing, a very good thing.

Rating5/5
A rollercoaster of a thriller, first class writing! Well thought out plot and strong, believable characters. All in all there was no doubt this was going to be a 5* rating.
From the plummeting deep Krubera and a team of cavers, including Ross Fraser, trying to break a world record in death defying descents to a CIA lawyer, Damon Ross, trying to discover who is behind the plan to foil an election in Abkhazia, a place of much interest to the Georgians and Russians. (It is of current interest in the Ukrainian and Russian war). Akhar Kutsnia will use all in his power to protect his country and no one will stand in his way.
Lots of twists and turns and that is not all down to narrow tunnels in the Krubera. The descriptions could almost make one claustrophobic!
Jeff Buick is a talented writer, well worth 5 stars plus. Highly recommended.
Many thanks to Jeff Buick for giving me the opportunity to read The Krubera Conspiracy. In return I have written an honest and unbiased review.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2023I really enjoyed this author in a previous book but really dislike his writing in this book. Just didn’t “click” for me. I couldn’t force myself to finish it. Sorry.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2022It's quite a testament to the author's power over the reader in that I kept turning those pages, even when the thought of my claustrophobic self in an underwater cave took my breath away.
The action is intense and non-stop throughout the story. In the beginning, I had a few moments of confusion while I sorted out the characters, but it wasn't long until I was hanging on to their every word and action.
Krubera Cave is the second-deepest-known cave on Earth. It's located in the Arabika Massif of the Gagra Range of the Western Caucasus, in the Gagra district of Abkhazia, a breakaway region of Georgia. That is the only fact you can be sure of in this tale of twisting and turning covert ops, hostages, political intrigue, and deep caving.
I highly recommend this book to lovers of espionage, mystery, and breathtaking adventure.
