Thriller
From
a hidden enclave in the maze of Tehran, an Iranian
scientist who calls himself “Dr. Ali” sends an encrypted
message to the CIA. It falls to Harry Pappas to decide if
it’s for real. Dr. Ali sends more secrets of the Iranian
bomb program to the agency, then panics. He’s being
followed, but he doesn’t know who’s onto him, and neither
does Pappas. The White House is no help—they’re looking for
a pretext to attack Tehran. To get his agent out, Pappas turns to a secret British spy
team known as “The Increment,” whose operatives carry the
modern version of the double-O “license to kill.” But the
real story here is infinitely more complicated than he
understands, and to get to the bottom of it he must betray
his own country.
The Increment is The Spy Who Came In from the Cold set in
Iran, with a dose of Graham Greene’s The Human Factor to
highlight the subtleties of betrayal.
