A Reluctant Asset – A Tom Kessler Thriller – Book 5

​

IRGC Colonel Reza Farhadi is sent to London as an intelligence officer under diplomatic cover. His wife and son arrive with him. Within hours, they are taken.

​

Iranian dissidents, he is told. Send word to Tehran or never see them again.

​

Tom Kessler gets to them ahead of the deadline.

​

Returning the family carries a price Farhadi cannot refuse — a debt that turns him from hunter to handler, from one of the IRGC's most feared officers into the deepest source MI6 has run inside Iranian intelligence in a generation.

​

What he tells them in the weeks that follow will give the British a single warning that no diplomatic post has ever received in time.

​

A Reluctant Asset is the fifth Tom Kessler thriller — grounded in real intelligence tradecraft and the events of November 2011.
