Adam Brookes: Night Heron, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Beschreibung

Tell them, the Night Heron is hunting . . .
A lone man, Peanut, escapes a labour camp in the dead of night, fleeing across the winter desert of north-west China.
Two decades earlier, he was a spy for the British. Now Peanut finds Beijing transformed and crawling with danger - he must quickly disappear on its surveillance-blanketed streets or face death.
Desperate and ruthless, Peanut reaches out to his one-time MI6 paymasters via journalist Philip Mangan, offering secrets in return for his life.
Mangan is dragged into a deeper and deeper whirlpool of lies, as the secrets prove more valuable than he or Peanut could ever have known ... and not only to the British.
