"A thrilling tale of abduction and escape in North Korea....highly entertaining." --The Washington Post
"[A] multistranded espionage thriller...told with drama and flair." -- Wall Street Journal "A vivid, convincing thriller" -- The Sunday Times "A cool summer thriller...engrossing." --Parade Magazine "Extraordinary ... smart, sophisticated, suspenseful - and important. If you try one new thing this year, make it Star of the North." -- Lee Child "The best thrillers offer something more ambitious than simply raising the pulse rate of the reader. In Star of the North it is geopolitical complexity...This is a masterly evocation of life under the Kim Jong-un regime" -- The Guardian "An outstanding thriller....those seeking a realistic, highly readable look at North Korea will be rewarded." --Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Well-researched, fast-paced, and pertinent...a fantastic read."--Library Journal (starred review) "A remarkable story about the most opaque country on Earth...Star of the North would be a superior thriller even if it was pure fiction." --Booklist (starred review) "This is a smart, sophisticated, topical spy story hard to put down...I highly recommend this book for anyone longing to know more about this shadowy nation and its secretive regime." - The MissourianA propulsive and ambitious thriller about a woman trying to rescue her twin sister from captivity in North Korea, and the North Korean citizens with whom she forms an unlikely alliance
Star of the North opens in 1998, when a Korean American teenager is kidnapped from a South Korean beach by North Korean operatives. Twelve years later, her brilliant twin sister, Jenna, is still searching for her, and ends up on the radar of the CIA. When evidence that her sister may still be alive in North Korea comes to light, Jenna will do anything possible to rescue her--including undertaking a daring mission into the heart of the regime. Her story is masterfully braided together with two other narrative threads. In one, a North Korean peasant woman finds a forbidden international aid balloon and uses the valuables inside to launch a dangerously lucrative black-market business. In the other, a high-ranking North Korean official discovers, to his horror, that he may be descended from a traitor, a fact that could mean his death if it is revealed. As the novel progresses, these narrative strands converge and connect in surprising ways, ultimately building to an explosive and unforgettable climax.
