IRGC Colonel Reza Farhadi is sent to London as an intelligence officer under diplomatic cover. His wife and son arrive with him. Within hours, they are taken.

Iranian dissidents, he is told. Send word to Tehran and you will never see them again.

Tom Kessler gets to them ahead of the deadline.

Returning the family carries a price Farhadi cannot refuse — a debt that turns him from hunter to asset, from one of the IRGC’s most feared officers into the deepest source MI6 has run inside Iranian intelligence in a generation.

What he tells them in the weeks that follow will give the British a single warning that no diplomatic post has ever received in time.

A Reluctant Asset is the fifth Tom Kessler thriller — grounded in real intelligence tradecraft and the real events of November 2011.
