On a frozen frontier on the Korean peninsula, a field agent waits
for his contact to cross from the North. In Beijing, a prominent
Chinese scientist takes refuge in the US embassy. In Washington, a
US senator creates an elaborate smokescreen about illegal arms
sales to Sri Lanka while he uses his daughter-in-law to operate an
illicit business in nuclear secrets. In Langley, a young CIA agent
delivers coffee to his boss in a china cup and saucer and by doing
so opens the door for his career to flourish. Chinese Take-out
spins a web of tense international intrigue - spies, exploitation,
high finance, illegal movement of nuclear materials through sham
companies - against the backdrop of a growing undercurrent in the
Chinese democracy movement which periodically erupts with
interesting consequences. A chance snippet of information and a
suspicious mind lead to a complicated tale of detection involving
lust, love and high-tech espionage in the remote US wilderness, an
ex-agent who runs a dude ranch for the CIA and intense activity on
a number of fronts for a team of covert operatives. Woven into the
tale is the story of a Chinese scientist who breaks all the rules
and somehow survives as he pursues his love of the saxophone and
democracy and somehow becomes part of a US Air Force jazz band
performing at a festival in the UK. This fast-moving thriller will
take you around the world and keep you gripped to the very last
page.
