The Best Revenge
On the Mongolian steppes a general in the People's Liberation Army stakes his career, and his life, on a GPS-free missile guidance system that will change the balance of power on the battlefield.
In Bath a young Chinese woman has secured the affections of a young brainiac working on that very problem.
In Leamington Spa a deep cover operative has given himself away.
And in London Jonas Merrick watches all, assessing, planning. A moment, perhaps, for him to strike a blow to China's espionage network in the UK.
One thing he does not see, however, is in Moscow. An order 'bring me his head'.
Tautly plotted and frighteningly authentic Best Served Cold cements Jonas Merrick as one of the great figures of modern spy fiction.
