Summary
John Wells, with his former CIA bosses Ellis Shafer and Vinny Duto, has uncovered a staggering plot, a false-flag operation to convince the President to attack Iran. But they have no hard evidence, and no one at Langley or the White House will listen. Now the President has set a deadline for Iran to give up its nuclear program, and the mullahs in Tehran -- furious and frightened -- have responded with a deadly terrorist attack. Wells, Shafer, and Duto know they have only twelve days to find the proof they need. They fan out, from Switzerland to Saudi Arabia, Israel to Russia, desperately trying to tease out the clues in their possession. Meanwhile, the United States is moving soldiers and Marines to Iran's border. And Iran has mobilized its own squad of suicide bombers. And as the days tick by and the obstacles mount, they realize that everything they do may not be enough...

Those in power always need an unofficial option. Meet John Wells. Wells and his former CIA bosses Ellis Shafer and Vinnie Duto have uncovered a false-flag operation to convince the President to attack Iran. But with no hard evidence, no one at Langley or the White House will listen. The President has set a deadline for Iran to give up its nuclear program, and the mullahs in Tehran -- furious and frightened -- have responded with a deadly terrorist attack. Wells, Shafer, and Duto know they have only twelve days to find the proof they need. Fanning out, from Switzerland to Saudi Arabia, Israel to Russia, they desperately try to tease out the clues in their possession, even as the United States moves its forces into place and Iran mobilizes its own squad of suicide bombers. As the deadline gets nearer, will Wells be able to do enough to stop a full-scale escalation into war?
