Synopsis

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.

À propos de l?auteur

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. In a parallel career, he was Government-employed in the China field for some twenty years. With work in the Far East and in Europe, the variety of his particular experience is probably unique. After a period at GCHQ as a Chinese linguist, he spent time with three different Western Services: MI6, the Australian Secret Intelligence Service (ASIS) and the CIA. He is now retired in France, and writing another novel. Denis Miller’s other fiction includes The Chinese Jade Affair and Alle Spie Piace Formosa (Mondadori, Milan), Diplomatic Traffic (New English Library), and A Spell in Normandy (Kédéa Editions, Paris).
