Product Description Kurt Reid may be innocent of the murder he's charged with (and of grand larceny, for that matter), but he's got no time to be thrown in jail and defend himself. Instead, Reid flees to pre-Communist China and Shanghai, the exotic city of mystery and death. Reid takes refuge in a tea house where he meets White Russian Varinka Savischna, whom he manages to rescue from certain death. As beautiful as she is smart, she recruits him in her crusade against Chinese intelligence services. Unfortunately, Reid manages to get himself captured by the Chinese and blackmailed into pursuing and assasinating a Japanese spy. Now Reid must enter the cloak-and-dagger world of espionage and intrigue, where everything and everyone is not who or what they appear to be.

Killer Story October 26, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
My favorite genre is mystery and I'm a huge James Patterson fan. So, I saw this mystery and I thought, pulp fiction, not something I've ever tried. WOW! What fun! I read the book in one day and I literally couldn't put it down. The twist in the story with Varnika was quite brilliant and had me wondering the whole time if she was going to turn out good or bad! What a shocker ending. I do recommend this book to anyone who loves a real good, honest to goodness mystery story. I also recommend the series. I've read all of them so far, there are 5 out and no matter what genre it is, Hubbard just keeps me wanting to come back for more stories!
