"THE INCREMENT seeks to paint a full portrait....it bears the hard weight of both political and personal history and recognizes the seriousness of what might come next." "A thinking person's thriller with a timely take on recent international politics." (starred review) "Ignatius has been writing about the CIA and the Middle east for several decades, and his descriptions of espionage tradecraft, CIA shortcomings and turf battles...are vivid, believable, and engrossing. Thriller devotees will devour THE INCREMENT..." Publisher's noteWhen a hidden Tehran scientist sends encrypted messages to the CIA that reveal Iran's bomb-development program, agent Harry Pappas is directed to discern if the messages are true before enlisting the aid of a secret British spy team to safeguard the scientist, an agenda that forces Pappas to betray the American government in order to protect its interests. Original. By the author of the best-selling Body of Lies, a novel that takes the reader inside the most volatile secret of the twenty-first century: the Iranian nuclear program. From a hidden enclave in the maze of Tehran, an Iranian scientist who calls himself "Dr. Ali" sends an encrypted message to the CIA. It falls to Harry Pappas to decide if it's for real. Dr. Ali sends more secrets of the Iranian bomb program to the agency, then panics. He's being followed, but he doesn't know who's onto him, and neither does Pappas. The White House is no help-they're looking for a pretext to attack Tehran. To get his agent out, Pappas turns to a secret British spy team known as "The Increment," whose operatives carry the modern version of the double-O "license to kill." But the real story here is infinitely more complicated than he understands, and to get to the bottom of it he must betray his own country. The Increment is The Spy Who Came In from the Cold set in Iran, with a dose of Graham Greene's The Human Factor to highlight the subtleties of betrayal. AnnotationIn this sharply written tale of political intrigue, a CIA agent must dispatch a top secret team of spies to deal with a possible terrorist threat. When the CIA is presented with a tangled web of misleading information, one man must decide if he will betray his country in order to get to the truth.
