London’s secret Bureau sends Quiller to Hong Kong to rescue a well-known Chinese dissident who might be able to lead an uprising that would topple the despotic Chinese regime. While the first rescue mission succeeds, Quiller and the rather intractable dissident he is guarding encounter enemies, some disguised as friends, after they land in Tibet’s high-mountain and desolate capital Llasa. Quiller must use ingenuity as well as his incomparable combat skills to survive this deadly environment. 15th novel in the highly acclaimed Quiller series.
"Hall has created a new form: the spy thriller that is all action and yet cerebral, a writing feat few can match."
- The Boston Globe
"Tense, intelligent, harsh, surprising..."
- The New York Times
