When the world is turned upside down, who can you trust? Cambridge, England - a professor with links to Iran's nuclear programme is found dead on a park bench, a victim of poisoning by persons unknown. At the same time, in New York, USA, a leading cardiologist is killed in an apparent hit-and-run. And in Hamburg, Germany, a successful academic publisher is shot dead on a backstreet. What links the deaths is that the victims were all prominent Iranian émigrés, and members of the Tehran Committee, an underground dissident movement. British Secret Intelligence Service agent Sebastian Friend is tasked by 'C' to seek out who was responsible for these murders, a mission which at first seems deceptively simple. But as with so many things in the shadowy world of espionage, all is not what it seems. Friend finds himself in a battle for survival as he follows the trail from London to Tehran and back, untangling a complex web which could throw the entire established world order on its head.

Autorenporträt
Neil Robinson was born in Gateshead and grew up in Newcastle upon Tyne obsessed with books and sport. After studying in Hull and Sweden, he spent six years with the Home Office in London before quitting and setting off to walk across Europe in the footsteps of Patrick Leigh Fermor and in the spirit of vagabond poets.He returned to the UK with very sore feet and the understanding that he needed a new career. After retraining as a librarian, he took a job at Lord's Cricket Ground where he has remained for the last 15 years. As MCC's Head of Heritage & Collections, his job involves, among other things, looking after the Ashes Urn.He has written widely about cricket and sporting heritage for a variety of publications and in 2015 published Long Shot Summer, a book about one of the most humiliating years in English cricket history. His fiction writing covers very different ground. A lifelong lover of spy novels, he takes inspiration from thriller writers like Len Deighton and John Buchan and seeks to create novels with a sense of place and character.Neil lives in south east London, where he spends his free time writing, cooking, hiking, enjoying the odd pint of real ale and following his beloved Gateshead Football Club.
