"Reading "Naji and the mystery dig", you will find how basic attributes of laughter, worry, fear, respect, love, kindness, and other human characteristics are universal no matter where we live. You will fall in love with Naji as she fascinates you."

"Imani in his historical thriller "In the Shadow of the Kingmakers" shows a great depth of research as he describes the warring plots of the British, American and Russian spies who fight a hidden war in 1920s Persia, bringing these men alive and making our hearts pound at their scheming."
Gerald DiPego, author of novels and screenwriter for feature films including Phenomenon, Message in a Bottle, The Forgotten, Instinct, and Words and Pictures.
"A strong command of language enhances this riveting true account, creating a realistic sense of immediacy as though the described events have just happened. Delving into the book is a worthwhile endeavor for any history connoisseur seeking an individualized perspective opposed to a broad-based view of Iran."
