This week I'm featuring One Night in Tehran (Titus Ray Thriller #1) by Luana Ehrlich. This book has been on my TBR list for YEARS. I'm kinda mad at myself for taking so long to read it because it's SO GOOD!
Meanwhile, an assassin is searching for him.
Learning the truth . . .
Veteran CIA officer Titus Ray--on the run from the Iranian secret police--finds shelter with a group of Iranian Christians in Tehran. While urging him to become a believer in Jesus Christ, they manage to smuggle Titus out of Iran to freedom in Turkey.
Dealing with the past . . .
Returning to the States, he discovers his Iranian mission failed because of political infighting within the Agency. After Titus delivers a scathing indictment against the Deputy Director of Operations, he's forced to take a year's medical leave in Oklahoma.
Facing the future . . .
Before leaving Langley, Titus learns he's been targeted by a Hezbollah assassin hired by the Iranians. Now, while trying to figure out what it means to be a follower of Christ, he must decide if the Iranian couple he meets in Norman, Oklahoma has ties to the man who's trying to kill him, and if Nikki Saxon, a local detective with an intriguing past, can be trusted with his secrets.
Book Beginnings
In far northwest Iran, a few minutes after clearing the city limits of Tabriz, Rahim maneuvered his vehicle on a rutted side road.
Friday 56
The storm had intensified with lots of lightning and earsplitting thunder. Whether it was the storm or Wassermann's absence, I began to grow increasingly anxious. However, out of sheer habit, I spent the next five minutes wiping down the room for fingerprints.
