The Chinese Restaurant

"A tightly wrapped, pulsating crime drama..." "An imaginative take on the classic spy novel formula..." "Impossible to put down!"
Veteran author Paul Koppisch's twelfth novel is a tightly wound, international thriller that centers on a retired female mercenary who starts an intensive war against deception and corruption when coerced into assisting in a federal investigation. Although reluctant at first, she eventually gives in and enters a dangerous game of temptation and espionage across East Asia. Her mission is to infiltrate and compile information on a ubiquitous group of Japanese criminals presumed to be the creators of a lethal new drug that has recently hit the streets. Uncovering a startling revelation about her past, she eventually decides to stray from her assigned task and goes rogue...as does her FBI handler.
