Thriller
Tehran 1953. Jack Teller, a new recruit to the recently
established Central Intelligence Agency, finds himself in
Iran posing as a high-level American oil executive as part
of Operation Ajax, the agency's first attempt to overthrow
the government of a sovereign nation. Torn between loyalty
to his country's policies and sympathy for the hopes of a
fledgling democracy, Jack must ultimately pick which side he
will betray. It is a decision that will affect the future of
the Middle East and, eventually, the world.
Twenty-six years later, in 1979, Jack returns to a very
different Iran. The country is in the grip of a religious
revolution, and the streets of the capital city are filled
with daily rantings against The Great Satan. Jack's attempt
to save one man from Islamic justice—a man whom he had, at
one time, called a friend—leads him into the heart of an
emerging struggle between the West and a new and dangerous
ideology.
Divided by conflicting loyalties, a young Jack Teller made a
fateful choice that would reverberate for decades. In The
Tehran Conviction, Tom Gabbay masterfully interweaves
politics and suspense in a searing tale of espionage and
betrayal that reveals the unexpected costs our decisions
hold for us—and for history.
