Publisher's Synopsis
Fearing for his life, foreign correspondent Philip Mangan has gone into hiding from the Chinese agents who have identified him as a tool of British Intelligence. But when he is caught in a terrorist attack in East Africa and a shadowy Chinese figure approaches him with information on the origins of the attack, Mangan is suddenly back in the eye of the storm. Meanwhile, thousands of miles away on a humid Hong Kong night, a key MI6 source is murdered minutes after meeting agent Trish Patterson. From Washington, D.C. to the hallowed halls of Oxford University and dusty African streets, Chinese power is stirring, and the world is blind to a powerful danger in which Mangan and Patterson will be its pawns.
