TWELVE DAYS

Alex Berenson

John Wells has only twelve days to stop the United States from being tricked into invading Iran in the new cutting-edge novel of modern suspense from the #1 New York Times–bestselling author.
Wells, with his former CIA bosses Ellis Shafer and Vinnie Duto, has uncovered a staggering plot, a false-flag operation to convince the President to attack Iran. But they have no hard evidence, and no one at Langley or the White House will listen.

Now the President has set a deadline for Iran to give up its nuclear program, and the mullahs in Tehran—furious and frightened—have responded with a deadly terrorist attack. Wells, Shafer, and Duto know they have only twelve days to find the proof they need. They fan out, from Switzerland to Saudi Arabia, Israel to Russia, desperately trying to tease out the clues in their possession. Meanwhile, the United States is moving soldiers and Marines to Iran’s border. And Iran has mobilized its own squad of suicide bombers.

And as the days tick by and the obstacles mount, they realize that everything they do may not be enough…

As a reporter for The New York Times, Alex Berenson covered topics ranging from the occupation of Iraq to the crimes of Bernie Madoff. His eight previous John Wells novels include Edgar Award–winner The Faithful Spy, and most recently The Night Ranger and The Counterfeit Agent. He lives with his family in Garrison, New York.

Greta Van Susteren featured TWELVE DAYS on her blog Greta Wire with this Recommended Reading post (2/10/15) Read more...

Lots of thriller writers know how to work a ticking clock, and lots more come to the genre with some experience in international politics, but few put the two together as effectively as Berenson does in this compelling, globe-trotting time bomb of a novel. Action fans will get all they came for… but those looking for genuine insight into the subtleties of the geopolitical chess game will be equally satisfied.

A fast-paced, enthralling fight to the finish… the sort of spy thriller that locks you in a fast and ferocious grip and won’t let you go.

All espionage thrillers should be this good. This is a series that you should—must—be reading.

Alex Berenson’s TWELVE DAYS hit the New York Times Best Sellers List at #10 in Fiction!

An extremely suspenseful read that fans will not forget any time soon.

This well-written and fast-moving novel delivers more than a good plot. It illustrated how in the midst of regional chaos, a great power can jump to calamitous conclusions. This one is well worth the thriller enthusiast’s time, which holds true for all the novels Berenson has written to date.
