Primeiros Críticos

In a hotel in Istanbul, a CIA agent gets a warning from a disaffected Iranian Revolutionary Guard commander of a plan 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 quite right to Wells’ old CIA boss Ellis Shafer, and so he sends Wells on a private mission, one designed to track down the veracity of the claim and the people behind it. But the two of them are swimming against the tide. From Guatemala to Thailand to Hong Kong to Istanbul, Wells uses every skill at his command, including his ability to go undercover in the Arab world, to chase down leads. But the clock is ticking, international tensions are ratcheting up dramatically, and soon there may be nothing anyone can do to bring the U.S. back from the brink of war.
