An anonymous email arrives via the CIA’s website: someone on the inside of Iran’s nuclear program is apparently ready to talk. Harry Pappas, head of the Agency’s Iran desk, knows that if the contact is real, he’s looking at the intelligence coup of the decade. But the unconfirmed information his informant brings starts a clock ticking in Washington: the government hawks want to use it to justify a pre-emptive strike against Iran. Racing against the threat of war and facing a potential treason charge should his actions come to light, Harry is going to discover that his is not the only game in town.
