Denver's Rocky Mountain News advises you to, "add [Gabbay's] name to the must-read list of thriller writers." Read The Tehran Conviction and see why.


"Told against the background of a real-life CIA coup, The Tehran Conviction mixes historical fact with vivid storytelling in ways that will delight readers of both." —Stephen Kinzer, New York Times–bestselling author of All the Shah's Men
