It is an unwritten rule in the Intelligence Services that Desk Heads never travel. But when Mattie Furniss is ordered to improve the quality of information coming out of Iran by travelling to the region, it is easy to see that desperation is in the air. In such circumstances, risks are taken and corners cut. And it isn't long before Iran's spymasters are all too aware of his purpose . . .
Unknown to him, Mattie's mission is also about to be blown wide open by other political pressures. When a leading politician's daughter dies of a heroin overdose, the British establishment demands a crackdown on the Iranian traffickers. And with one of his own agents pursuing a unsanctioned war of vengeance in Iran, Mattie is soon alone in the spider's web. In a hostile environment where his every move is tracked, he becomes quickly and painfully aware that the fate of the few will always be sacrificed to the greater good . . .
