From the Inside Flap:
THE PERSIAN CAT The aftermath of the war has left Gil Denby a cynical shell. So when Pinel comes to him with a mission to bring a Nazi traitor to justice, he simply asks, “How much will it pay?” When he finds out that it involves Edmund Marlan, corrupt financier, it also becomes personal. All he has to do is travel to Teheran, get close to Marlan, then convince the man's mistress, Claire Fayne, to board a plane with him for Cairo, where she will be tried for the betrayal of her husband as a Nazi sympathizer. Simple.Helping Denby on his mission is young Gaby, a war child with worldly ways. Pursuing him is Berkeley, a British agent of questionable loyalties. And protecting the interests of Marlan are Grayle and Drexel, two dedicated young men who take their job very seriously. All Denby has with him is a little china cat to let his Teheran contact know he's one of the good guys. But the more he gets to know Claire Fayne, the more he begins to question his loyalties...
About the Author:
John Gearon, better known to readers as John Flagg, was born in 1885 in Chicago, Illinois, and educated in Englewood, New Jersey. Leaving school in his senior year, he travelled throughout Europe and the Near East. He became a radio script writer for the Office of the Coordinator for Inter-American Affairs, later working in a literary agency and as a journalist. With Louis Bromfield , Gearon co-wrote a Broadway play set in Paris in 1935. He published his first novel, The Velvet Well, in 1946—filmed by Jacques Deray in 1978 as A Butterfly on the Shoulder—followed by a series of thrillers for Gold Medal Books in the 1950s under the name John Flagg. These include six books featuring post-war agent, Hart Muldoon. Gearon died in 1970.
