The Twelfth Imam by Joel C. Rosenberg: A Book Review

Iran has a secret nuclear weapons program. A small cult of religious and political leaders in the Middle East believe they must destroy the nations of Israel and the United States in order to bring about the coming of the Islamic "messiah", or Twelfth Imam, whom they believe will usher in a new era of Islamic rule worldwide. As they are plotting the demise of the Little and the Great Satans, Iran is unaware that a trusted, young Muslim businessman is actually a CIA operative whose objective is to gain solid intelligence to thwart their nuclear efforts. It soon becomes clear that there are spiritual forces behind Iran's evil plot that the CIA refuses to acknowledge until it is perhaps too late.

Whether you're a seasoned Rosenberg fan or a first-timer, you will not be disappointed in The Twelfth Imam.
