John Wells goes undercover as the threat of nuclear war
skyrockets between the United States and Iran, in the
cutting-edge new novel from the #1 New York Times–
bestselling author.
In an Istanbul hotel, a deep source warns a CIA agent
that Iran intends to kill a CIA station chief. Quickly, John
Wells is called in to investigate, but before he can get
far, the tip comes true. Which means that the next warning
the source gives will be taken very seriously indeed. And
it’s a big one. We’ve put a package on a ship from Dubai to
the United States. A radioactive one. A bomb? Not yet. It’s
a test run.
As the threat level jumps and the government mobilizes,
something still doesn’t smell right to Wells’s old CIA boss
Ellis Shafer, and so he sends Wells on a private mission to
find out what’s going on. But the two of them are swimming
against the tide. From Guatemala to Thailand to Hong Kong to
Istanbul, Wells uses every skill he has, including his
ability to go undercover in the Arab world, to chase down
leads. But it might not be enough. Soon there might be
nothing anyone can do to pull the United States back from
the brink of war.
