On a frozen frontier on the Korean peninsula, a field agent waits for his contact to cross from the North. In Beijing, a prominent Chinese scientist takes refuge in the US embassy. In Washington, a US senator creates an elaborate smokescreen about illegal arms sales to Sri Lanka while he uses his daughter-in-law to operate an illicit business in nuclear secrets. In Langley, a young CIA agent delivers coffee to his boss in a china cup and saucer and by doing so opens the door for his career to flourish. Chinese Take-out spins a web of tense international intrigue - spies, exploitation, high finance, illegal movement of nuclear materials through sham companies - against the backdrop of a growing undercurrent in the Chinese democracy movement which periodically erupts with interesting consequences. A chance snippet of information and a suspicious mind lead to a complicated tale of detection involving lust, love and high-tech espionage in the remote US wilderness, an ex-agent who runs a dude ranch for the CIA and intense activity on a number of fronts for a team of covert operatives. Woven into the tale is the story of a Chinese scientist who breaks all the rules and somehow survives as he pursues his love of the saxophone and democracy and somehow becomes part of a US Air Force jazz band performing at a festival in the UK. This fast-moving thriller will take you around the world and keep you gripped to the very last page.
