In the Shadow of the Kingmakers

In this historical thriller inspired by true events, a British
espionage plot spirals out of control—with devastating consequences.It’s
the aftermath of WWI and imperialist powers jostle for influence in
Tehran, capital of Persia and heart of the Middle East. James Malcolm is
a ruthless British spy set on undermining his American and Russian
rivals, but when an act of sabotage escalates into an international
incident, the kingmaker becomes the pawn. Rose Pearce works in the
English Consulate with her friend Ali, a sweet boy of fourteen. Their
simple existence is shattered the day Ali shares the details of a
troubling conversation he’s overheard. Rose encourages him to stick to
what he knows best: serving tea and trimming roses in the consulate
gardens, but Ali is filled with a sense of duty and takes matters into
his own hands, changing their lives forever. Caught in the shifting
sands of shadowy espionage, international agendas, and a lust for
Western dominance at all costs, James, Rose, and Ali must fight for what
they believe in—if they manage to survive at all. In the Shadow of the
Kingmakers is a vivid, heart-stopping exploration of a moment in history
that shaped the world we know today.
