But they have no hard evidence, and no one at Langley or the White House will listen. Now the President has set a deadline for Iran to give up its nuclear program, and the mullahs in Tehran--furious and frightened--have responded with a deadly terrorist attack. Wells, Shafer, and Duto know they have only twelve days to find the proof they need. They fan out, from Switzerland to Saudi Arabia, Israel to Russia, desperately trying to tease out the clues in their possession. Meanwhile, the United States is moving soldiers to Iran's border. And Iran has mobilized its own squad of suicide bombers. And as the days tick by and the obstacles mount, the three of them realize that everything they do may not be enough...<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><i>New York Times</i>-bestselling author Alex Berenson is back with another gripping tale. <p/> John Wells, with his former CIA bosses Ellis Shafer and Vinny Duto, have uncovered a staggering plot, a false-flag operation to drive the United States and Iran into war.

Action fans will get all they came for . . . but those looking for genuine insight into the subtleties of the geopolitical chess game will be equally satisfied." --<i>Booklist </i>(starred review) <p/> "This well-written and fast-moving novel delivers more than a good plot. It illustrated how in the midst of regional chaos, a great power can jump to calamitous conclusions. This one is well worth the thriller enthusiast's time, which holds true for all the novels Berenson has written to date." --<i>Kirkus Reviews </i>(starred review) <p/> "A fast-paced, enthralling fight to the finish . . . the sort of spy thriller that locks you in a fast and ferocious grip and won't let you go." --Associated Press <p/> "An extremely suspenseful read that fans will not forget any time soon." --<i>Suspense Magazine</i><br> <i> </i><br> "All espionage thrillers should be this good. This is a series that you should--<i>must</i>--be reading." --Bookreporter.com<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>This is <b>Alex Berenson</b>'s ninth novel featuring John Wells.
