Description
AVA LEE IS OUT FOR REVENGE IN THE LATEST INSTALLMENT OF IAN HAMILTON’S BESTSELLING THRILLER SERIES
Still reeling from the brutal murder of her close associates Lau Lau and Chen, Ava Lee embarks on a quest for revenge that takes her from Toronto to Los Angeles to Beijing. Along the way, Ava is aided by some familiar faces and old comrades-in-arms, including Sonny Kwon, Jimmy Li, Lop, and Xu, the mountain master of Shanghai.
The search leads first to Ava’s old opponent, Mo, the chairman of the China Movie Syndicate, and then to a shadowy figure at the very top of the Chinese Security Service—the man who gave the order to kill her friends. Events reach a deadly climax in front of the Tianqiao Theatre in Beijing, but exacting her revenge is only half the battle—getting out of China alive is another matter entirely …

Editorial Reviews
A compelling story with a satisfying ending.
Words of Mystery Blog
The novel wraps things up in a manner long-time readers should find satisfying.
Toronto Star
Hamilton provides vivid snapshots of international cultures through detailed cityscapes and descriptions of local cuisine (the Peking duck from Da Dong restaurant, in Beijing, is particularly mouthwatering) ... This globetrotting espionage tale concludes the epic saga.
