Silent Partner - Leigh Brackett

A Southern Californian trust fund baby does what you would expect in the late sixties. Apart from only drinking vodka, anyway. And being involved in an Import-Export business with an Iranian friend from his university days.

Their other friend buys into the business, and ends up dying when he goes to Iran. The dead man's fiancee is suspicious and rightly so, as it turns out. Our rich boy gets a visit from the spooks - it appears that his old friend is a reactionary that would like a return to the old days and is plotting revolution. Tony may be able to help trap him, knowing him better than others.
