The Ghosts of Mao
A North Korean nuclear test puts the world on high alert. China and America are about to sit down and talk peace. But a deadly sleeper cell has awoken inside the U.S....
CIA Agent Joe Brennan and Chinese counterpart Daisy Lee are on the run, hunting the secret behind the cell, from the gambling dens of Macau to a town that time forgot; from the corridors of power in Washington and Beijing, to the crowded streets of New York.
The truth lies shrouded in Cold War history, in a program to create perfect assassins who could blend into any American community. They're waiting for a moment of weakness, planning an audacious grasp at political control ... and they'll kill anyone standing in their way.

Ian Loome
Ian Loome (also writes as L. H. Thomson and Sam Powers) writes the kind of thrillers that feel like they've lived a life before landing in your hands — taut, restless, and always edged with hard-won experience. Raised between the quiet English village of Bierton and the turbulence of Angola during a communist regime, and later settling in Canada, Loome grew up in places where tension thrived under the surface. That early exposure to conflict and uncertainty shaped the pulse of his fiction, infusing every story with a sense of urgency and grit.
Joe Brennan
