Thriller
Typhoon, a New York Times Notable Book of the
Year, a Top Ten Thriller of the Year (London Times),
further confirms what all the critics around the world have
been saying: Charles Cumming is a modern master
of the classic espionage thriller, heir to le Carre and
Deighton. In 1997, a few months before the British
government is scheduled to return Hong Kong to Chinese rule,
Joe Lennox, a brilliant young operative for SIS (MI6), loses
both his girlfriend and his first high profile asset – a
prominent defector who disappears from a safe house. The
girlfriend, the ravishing Isabella Aubert, he lost to Miles
Coolidge, a hard-bitten CIA agent; the asset to collusion
between his bosses and the CIA. A decade later,
Lennox is back in China, facing his old nemeses. With the
CIA plotting to use an Islamic group to destabilize China,
the SIS seeking to thwart them and his old asset the
key to all of this, Lennox, Coolidge, and the girlfriend
they shared are hopelessly intertwined in a plot where trust
is impossible and truth is unknowable.
