A young academic becomes embroiled in the Iranian hostage crisis in this historical novel of romance, geopolitics, and clashing cultures.It’s 1979 and Jason "Jay" Nichols is just making the transition from student to teacher when he faces a nearly impossible challenge. While teaching a group of students from Iran, more than fifty Americans are taken hostage at the U.S. Embassy in Iran. As the situation holds all of America spellbound, one of Jay’s students, the enchanting Azadeh "Azi" Ghotbzadeh, is suddenly in danger. A cousin of Iran’s foreign minister, Azi finds herself in an increasingly hostile country. Even as she and Jay fall in love, she is beckoned home to safety by her family. But when the U.S. government learns of Jay’s relationship with someone in the Ayatollah’s orbit, he becomes involved in a mission that could avert a global catastrophe or put Azi in mortal peril. Messenger from Mystery vividly depicts the human heart in conflict with itself while offering a thoughtful critique of U.S.-Middle East relations while also vividly depicting the human heart in conflict with itself.Foreword by Robert Penn Warren Award-winning author Elizabeth Cox
