Based on historic events, and frighteningly relevant to today's
headlines -- a taut thriller about one American diplomat's year of
living dangerously in Tehran in the days leading up to the Iranian
Revolution ...
In the style of Alan Furst, this suspenseful thriller -- based on real
events -- places an idealistic American diplomat in a turbulent,
US-hating Tehran in the days leading up to the Iranian Revolution.
Backed by the CIA, and trailed by a beautiful and engaging French
journalist he suspects is a spy, David Weiseman's mission is to ease the
Shah of Iran out of power and find the best alternative between the
military, religious extremists, and the political ruling class -- many
of whom are simultaneously trying to kill him.
