Night in Tehran Philip Kaplan

Based on historic events, and frighteningly relevant to today's headlines--a taut thriller about one American diplomat's year of living dangerously in Tehran in the days leading up to the Iranian Revolution ...

In the style of Alan Furst, this suspenseful thriller--based on real events--places an idealistic American diplomat in a turbulent, US-hating Tehran in the days leading up to the Iranian Revolution. Backed by the CIA, and trailed by a beautiful and engaging French journalist he suspects is a spy, David Weiseman's mission is to ease the Shah of Iran out of power and find the best alternative between the military, religious extremists, and the political ruling class--many of whom are simultaneously trying to kill him.
