_____________________________ A man in search of his son. An agent on the run from his past. A
country on the verge of revolution... Nothing good ever comes from a midnight phone call
especially from Downing Street. For washed-up spy Harry Tower it is the worst news at the
worst possible time. His son Sean has gone missing in troubled Iran after writing an exposé
about government corruption. Their relationship has never recovered since Harry's wife's
suicide for which Sean holds his father responsible. And Harry with his career on the verge
of disintegration needs to find him and put things right. When Harry arrives in Tehran he
finds a city on the cusp of revolution. Foreign powers are jockeying for influence money and
most importantly oil. The CIA are conspiring to undermine the government with an impending
coup and there are dark mutterings about opium smuggling. But the reasons for Sean's
disappearance may be even more sinister than Harry first suspected. Before long he is on the
run - not only from a faceless enemy but from his own past. Which will catch up with him
first? Yesterday's Spy is Tom Bradby at his very best delivering a cunning espionage novel
rich in intrigue and history that will keep you guessing until the final pages. _______________
