In this historical thriller inspired by true events, a British espionage plot spirals out of control-with devastating consequences.

It's the aftermath of WWI and imperialist powers jostle for influence in Tehran, capital of Persia and heart of the Middle East. James Malcolm is a ruthless British spy set on undermining his American and Russian rivals, but when an act of sabotage escalates into an international incident, the kingmaker becomes the pawn.

Rose Pearce works in the English Consulate with her friend Ali, a sweet boy of fourteen. Their simple existence is shattered the day Ali shares the details of a troubling conversation he's overheard. Rose encourages him to stick to what he knows best: serving tea and trimming roses in the consulate gardens, but Ali is filled with a sense of duty and takes matters into his own hands, changing their lives forever.

Caught in the shifting sands of shadowy espionage, international agendas, and lust for Western dominance at all costs, James, Rose, and Ali must fight for what they believe in-if they manage to survive at all..

Industry Reviews

Imani shows a great depth of research as he describes the warring plots of the British, American and Russian spies who fight a hidden war in 1920s Persia, bringing these men alive and making our hearts pound at their scheming.

Gerald DiPego, author of novels, including Cheevey, and screenwriter for feature films including Phenomenon, Message in a Bottle, The Forgotten, Instinct, and Words and Pictures.

This blood-curdling thriller kept me turning pages late into the night.
