Description

Charles Cumming, praised globally whilst the heir to John le Carré, results together with his greatest, most driven thriller up to now. Starting in 1997, just like the British are going to re - change Hong-Kong to Chinese rule, Joe Lennox, a opera tive for SIS (MI6), drops both his partner and his first high-profile asset—a notable defector who vanishes from the safe-house. The partner he dropped to Miles Coolidge, a tough-bitten CIA adviser; the resource to collusion between his employers and the CIA. Over 10 years later, throughout the run up to the Beijing Olympics, Lennox is in China, experiencing his old nemeses.
