Review Quotes:
"[An] intelligent espionage thriller... Penny's trademark humor mingles well with Fung's political expertise. The result is an eerily plausible nail-biter."--Publishers Weekly
"While the strained relationship between Vivien and her daughter Alice forms the emotional core of the book, readers will be captivated by the race-against-time structure of the story... A treat for Penny's fans, and a solid political thriller in its own right."--Booklist "Most ambitious..." --Kirkus Reviews
