An enjoyable tale of conspiracy and mayhem\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

An undercover FBI agent is caught up in a dangerous conspiracy as she also battles personal demons in Kop\u2019s latest thriller. Jenny Chu meets Dave Kamakaris, an undercover FBI agent, on a flight, follows his suit and joins the FBI. Meanwhile, in China, Y\u00ecch\u00e9n Zhang is forced by the MSS to defect to the U.S., where Y\u00ecch\u00e9n<\/a> must secure LineageFinder\u2019s DNA bank or risk harm coming to his mother. When Jenny\u2019s path crosses with Y\u00ecch\u00e9n, she realizes Y\u00ecch\u00e9n is more than an enemy agent. Kop\u2019s writing style is confident and engaging, crafting exciting scenes of tense action and also managing to capture the softer, more intimate moments with ease. Jenny and Y\u00ecch\u00e9n\u2019s individual moral dilemmas act as the main drivers of the book, while the twisted story of China trying to secure American populations\u2019 DNA makes an essential part of the conspiracy plot. Jenny is an easy to root for, complex and likable character, but it is Y\u00ecch\u00e9n who, with his moral quandaries steals the show. The supporting cast is well developed. This winding espionage story makes for a page-turner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
