Details about this item
The Increment: From a hidden enclave in the maze of Tehran, an Iranian scientist who calls himself â€œDr. Aliâ€ sends an encrypted message to the CIA. It falls to Harry Pappas to decide if itâ€™s for real. Dr. Ali sends more secrets of the Iranian bomb program to the agency, then panics. Heâ€™s being followed, but he doesnâ€™t know whoâ€™s onto him, and neither does Pappas. The White House is no helpâ€”theyâ€™re looking for a pretext to attack Tehran.

To get his agent out, Pappas turns to a secret British spy team known as â€œThe Increment,â€ whose operatives carry the modern version of the double-O â€œlicense to kill.â€ 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 Greeneâ€™s The Human Factor to highlight the subtleties of betrayal.
