Hain's first venture into novel writing is a fast-paced political thriller,
whose action ranges from China to South Africa, Zimbabwe and Britain.
What is the link between the mysterious Old Man from the Chinese Central Committee
and Swanepoel, the superannuated BOSS agent living in Harare?
Jim Evans, an ordinary British scientist, accidentally stumbles across a network
of international intrigue while on a delegation to China. His involvement
in the unmasking of a terrifying nuclear conspiracy leads to a closer involvement
with fellow delegate Jenny Stuart, which ultimately leads both of them into
a life and death struggle in Zimbabwe and its South African borders.
