Inhaltsangabe

When Henry Dobell, MI6 Head of Station in Bangkok, is kidnapped, Ken Lawson, an agent of WRU – World Research Unit, a shady subsidiary of MI6 – is brought out of retirement to investigate the kidnapping.Lawson’s investigation becomes increasingly complex and tangled by Russian interference, especially when he discovers that a senior Chinese diplomat may wantto defect to the West.The mission takes Lawson from his base in Mexico to Bangkok, London, Paris and finally to Venezuela.In this original, action-packed thriller – mainly written in the first person from Lawson’s point of view, which adds to its sense of immediacy – nothing is what it seems, no-one is who they say they are, and the ransom to be paid may just be too high a price.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

DENIS MILLER was born and educated in the UK where he studied Oriental Languages at Cambridge University. He became a freelance journalist working for a press ranging from The Far Eastern Economic Review, Le Monde Diplomatique to the UK’s The Countryman.
