A Drop Of Chinese Blood

the long version

James Church, a former Western intelligence officer who pulls back the curtain on the hidden world of North Korea in a way that no one else can, comes roaring back with a new novel introducing Major Bing, the nephew of Inspector O and the long-suffering chief of the Chinese Ministry of State Security operations on the border with North Korea. Bing is faced with a highly sensitive assignment to bring back from the North a long missing Chinese security official. Inspector O reluctantly helps him navigate an increasingly complex and deadly maze, one that leads down the twisted byways of his homeland.
