Missing in Shanghai
A taut, fast-paced thriller, set in present-day London and in Shanghai in 1984. Entrapment, betrayal, and espionage lurk beneath the pages, with an ending you won’t see coming.
Diplomat Jess Turner is working on the China desk in the foreign & Commonwealth Office. It’s her job to ensure the State visit of the Chinese President runs smoothly. But tensions are running high. Jess uncovers shocking, secret events that happened in Shanghai in 1984. A British Ambassador died, and another diplomat, Marianne Henderson, went missing in the city and has never been seen again. Jess is warned off when she starts asking questions. But she is caught up in a chain of events she has no power to control. As she digs into the past, Jess finds herself in grave danger.
