Publisher's Synopsis

Kamran Esfahani, a Persian Jewish dentist from Stockholm, dreams of starting afresh in California. To finance his new life, he agrees to spy for Mossad in Iran, working with a clandestine unit tasked with sowing chaos and sabotage inside the country. He soon finds himself entangled in a deadly game of spy vs. spy. When he's captured by Iranian security forces, Kamran is compelled to confess in a testimonial dealing not only with the security of nations, but also with revenge, deceit, and the power of love and forgiveness in a world of lies. Mixing suspense with strikingly cinematic action, David McCloskey takes readers deep into the shadow war between Iran and Israel, delivering the propulsive storytelling and riveting tradecraft that were the hallmarks of his first three novels and that cemented his reputation as "the best contemporary spy novelist" (General David Petraeus).
