Austin, Texas – September 15, 2026 – New thriller by Bob Tulipan and Maureen Baker follows a New Zealand trader and a young survivor as a web of deception, organized crime, and human trafficking reaches across Asia.

Small Lies Big Trouble is a fast-paced international thriller by Bob Tulipan and Maureen Baker that takes readers from the rugged landscapes of New Zealand to the charged streets of Hong Kong and Macau, where small deceptions can set devastating events in motion.

At the heart of the novel is Rod MacAllister, a skilled trader whose life becomes entangled in a dangerous world far beyond the financial markets. As secrets begin to surface, Rod and those closest to him are drawn into an escalating conflict involving powerful criminal networks, corruption, betrayal, and the enduring consequences of violence. Alongside him is Anya, a courageous young woman whose survival and determination become central to a story that asks what people are willing to risk for freedom, love, and loyalty.

With a vivid international setting and a cast of characters forced to make difficult choices, Small Lies Big Trouble explores the fragile line between trust and deception. The novel brings readers into a world where danger can emerge from unexpected places, loyalties are tested, and no one is completely safe.

While delivering suspense, action, and emotional stakes, the book also brings attention to the devastating reality of human trafficking and the importance of protecting vulnerable people. Its message is clear: silence and indifference allow exploitation to continue, while courage, truth, and community can help make a difference.
