"China is the land of Harry Airton's birth and privileged childhood - until the Japanese invasion leaves him orphaned and rootless. For twelve angry, disaffected years he has dreamed of returning. When the British Secret Service sees in Harry the perfect spy to send on a dangerous mission to Beijing, he will finally get his chance. But under Mao's regime, nothing is what it once was. For Harry to achieve his mission he must compromise all he ever believed, and risk losing everything he holds dear."--Publishing.
