Samenvatting
A gut punch of a thriller. This riveting debut is an intoxicating story of espionage, adventure, love, and betrayal in Beijing. David McCloskey, former CIA officer and author of widely acclaimed Damascus Station
INSPIRED BY ACTUAL EVENTS: When a high-ranking Chinese general wants to defect to the US, the CIA tries to recruit a recent Harvard grad teaching at a Beijing university to exfiltrate the mans daughtera treacherous operation that could shape the balance of power for decades.
The whole debacle was classified and buried. Until now.
Its 1998, and Chinas political and military leaders are torn by ideological divisions. Amid these seething rivalries, Andrew Callahan arrives in Beijing fresh out of Harvard, planning to spend an adventurous year studying Mandarin and teaching at the renowned International Affairs University. The IAU is known as a training ground for diplomats and spies. But Andrew has no idea that his budding relationship with the attractive and self-assured deans assistant, Lily Jiang, will also entangle him in a conspiratorial web of worldwide proportions.
A CIA officer approaches Andrew and informs him that Lilys father is a top Chinese general caught in a power struggle. The general wants to defect but wont do so without his wife and daughter. Even more shocking is that the Agency needs Andrews assistance for Lily to evade round-the-clock surveillance and escape to the US.
If Andrew agrees, hell face lethal odds against Chinas ruthless security services to help pull off one of the greatest intelligence coups in American history. If he refuses, it could cost Lily and her family their lives.
Set against the backdrop of a beautiful culture at a turbulent time, China Hand is the story of a reluctant spy and a mission whose deadly consequences continue to reverberate today.
