The Iranian Connection

A Novel of Geopolitics, Industrial Espionage, and Entrepreneurship

By: Bill Relf

Narrated by: Mark Rimer

By nearly every measure, Cameron Ash (nickname Cash) is a success. Handsome and charismatic, he developed Cameron Industries into a $400-million international powerhouse. His wife and children love him unconditionally and crave his companionship. His management team protects his life even if it endangers their own.

Inside, though, Cash is consumed by rage and hungry for revenge. As a teenager, the explosion of Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland took the lives of his parents. Twenty-five years later, his drive to find the man behind this act of terror is stronger than ever.

When Cash sells Cameron Industries to save his marriage and devote his life to philanthropy, he's blindsided by another tragedy that plunges him deeply into despair. His thirst for answers and his desire for revenge multiply. His attempt to turn his life around is complicated by an unexpected lover, a mysterious stalker, an assassination team, an Alabama restaurateur, and his devious father-in-law.

To pull him from his anguish, his management team rallies behind him as he steps in to save a failing technology company. Unknowingly, his efforts place him in the epicenter of an industrial espionage network. Two men and two civilizations are colliding: an Iranian spymaster and an American entrepreneur.

Searching for the man behind the Lockerbie bombing, Cash finds hints of explosive secrets about his family and government officials. He discovers secret negotiations that could reshape the Middle East and disrupt American politics. Cash will not back down, and he pushes forward knowing that finding the truth could lead to his death.
