The Iran Contradictions

by James A. Scott

"An fine novel of suspense that reads almost like nonfiction in its authenticity," wrote a reviewer. The opener: a former White House staffer is kill trying to warn the president of a sinister conspiracy. The bait: a Beiruit hostage and a Vietnam War secret worth millions. The plan: steal the money, kill the witnesses, frame the US president. The story: a rocket ride of daring-do, deception and death as the good guys and gals match wits with cunning women, cool assassins, shady Swiss bankers, and agents from the Pentagon, CIA, FBI, Treasury, and Vietnamese intelligencce.

My neighbor wrote this book and I am seriously impressed! Very captivating storyline. A lot of people get knocked off though. Be ready for that.
