How does a seemingly defenceless country react to plausible threats to thwart its attempt to join the Nuclear Club? In reality, how vulnerable are America's borders to nuclear infiltration by stealth? Set in the future, the story chronicles an intimate, personal narrative of love, trauma and revenge set against the backdrop of the renewal of the threat by a post-Obama, Republican president to destroy Iran's nuclear installations. Jules de Villarosa is a journalist and heir to one of France's great dynasties. His mother is the daughter of a wealthy Iranian exile and it is her brother Hamid who leads the revolution that ousts the Islamic regime. Hamid is the first democratic president of Iran since the 1953 American-led coup that removed Mossadeq. Together they set out to neutralise the threat orchestrated by the Neo-cons in Washington and their friends in Tel Aviv. Their stratagem leaves the head of Mossad fuming that 'Proving something that you can't find, isn't there, is impossible - that's why this Persian gambit is so elegant ... ' But for them and Washington, it's a race against time to do just that.
