Using
real and imaginary events Wreford spins a web involving 9/11, Tiananmen Square
and a valuable computer virus. This is a high octane story requiring a
strong stomach and the ability to grasp frequently changing events and
continuous revelations of changing allegiances. The book reeks with
authenticity in describing China, Russia, Cambodia and the USA.

Palmer Throughout
my reading life crime fiction has been a constant interest; I really enjoyed my
15 years as an expatriate in the Far East, the Netherlands & the USA but
occasionally the solace of closing my door to the outside world and sitting
reading was highly therapeutic. I now lecture to adults on historical topics
including Famous Historical Mysteries.
