Susan Hasler is an ex-CIA analyst - that was probably what interested me about this book. That and the plot - the book is about a CIA analyst who is dragged into a situation where the government is trying to build a case against attacking Iran and are using the CIA to provide the fodder.
The book has a nice plot, but the writing leaves something to be desired- I do not think any novel should be written in the present continuous tense if the narrators have to retain any credibility. It is so hard to empathize with a sleuth about the hours they put in, if you are feeling that they spend more time explaining what they are doing something rather than actually doing it. It probably would make a great airline book, but nothing more.
