"A real-life thriller about a CIA contractor who vanished in Iran and the international manhunt to find him"-- - Baker & Taylor
A real-life thriller looks at the disappearance of a CIA contractor from Iran and the international manhunt to find him. Notes. - Baker & Taylor
Draws on years of interviews and previously undisclosed CIA files to chronicle the disappearance of CIA contractor Robert Levinson on a mission in Iran and the international manhunt to find him. - Baker & Taylor
"In late 2013, Americans were shocked to learn that a former FBI agent turned private investigator who disappeared in Iran in 2007 had been there on a mission for the CIA. The missing man, Robert Levinson, appeared in pictures dressed like a Guantâanamo prisoner and pleaded in a video for help from the United States. Barry Meier, an award-winning investigative reporter for The New York Times, draws on years of interviews and never-before-disclosed CIA files to weave a riveting narrative of the ex-agent'sjourney to Iran and the hunt to rescue him. The result is an extraordinary tale about the shadowlands between crime, business, espionage, and the law, where secrets are currency and betrayal is commonplace. Its colorful cast includes CIA operatives, Russian oligarchs, arms dealers, White House officials, gangsters, private eyes, FBI agents, journalists, and a fugitive American terrorist and assassin. Missing Man is a fast-paced story that moves through exotic locales and is set against a backdrop of the twilight war between the United States and Iran, one in which hostages are used as political pawns. Filled with stunning revelations, it chronicles a family's ongoing search for answers and one man's desperate struggle to keep his hand in the game"-- - McMillan Palgrave
