  • Summary

  • In Part 3 of the story of Sir Alfred Mehran, we finally attempt to answer the key question: Why did a man spend 18 years at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris? The answer takes us to the dawn of the Century of Oil, to an underground prison controlled by the Iranian secret police, and back again.
