Jeff Kerr Why Jeff loves this book

I've been reading spy fiction for years, but until I came across this book, I had never read one set in China. The author immersed me in a previously unknown world, with characters and settings that kept me glued to the page. The writing reminds me of John LeCarre's novels: convoluted, yet plausible plot twists set against a background of tragedy. This book is the first in a trilogy. Fingers crossed that Brookes will expand the series.

Carson, a Colorado native, has lived in Italy, and it shows, as Ali Falco's gritty world rings true. I'm looking forward to reading her further adventures.
