Book Description:
IT’S ONLY THE OPENING MOVE…
National bestselling author Allan Topol returns with a thrilling new trilogy of international intrigue. THE CHINA GAMBIT (Vantage Point; January 2012) introduces Craig Page, a daring and resourceful former CIA agent, now fighting terrorism in Europe after being unceremoniously fired from the agency. After his daughter Francesca — a New York City reporter investigating the biggest story of her young career — dies in an “automobile accident,” Craig is instinctively convinced that she was murdered and sets out to find answers…and vengeance.
Joined by Francesca’s editor, the gutsy and equally resourceful Elizabeth Crowder, Craig soon begins to peel back the conspiracy layer by layer, eventually learning that Francesca was just collateral in a much larger ultimate target: The United States.
With a worldwide conflict that revolves around oil, money, weapons, and greed, THE CHINA GAMBIT raises the stakes by presenting frighteningly real consequences. The action races around the globe, jumping from Canada to Tehran, Beijing to Washington, and finally to Aspen, with Craig and Elizabeth narrowly escaping the deadliest of obstacles in their attempts to prevent impending catastrophe at the hands of Chinese General Zhou. Yet the rogue general is not the only twisted mastermind, and Craig soon learns that this conspiracy is a “three-headed monster”— one Chinese, one Iranian, and one American, led by a traitorous CIA director with whom Craig has a tumultuous past.
Timely, fast-paced, and relentless, THE CHINA GAMBIT is the pulse-pounding breakout thriller that Allan Topol has seemed destined to write.
