Produktbeschreibung
British Intelligence operative Isabella Di Stefano Butterfield has been dispatched to Tokyo for a very special purpose. Until recently, Japan seemed immune to the Islamic-inspired terror attacks that swept the world after 9/11. But the 2015 beheading of two Japanese aid workers in Syria changed everything. As the 2020 Tokyo Olympics approach, the race is on to establish a viable, outward-looking Japanese intelligence agency. Bella's brief is to ensure this spy service is fashioned in the image of M16. But before discussions even commence, Japan receives disturbing intelligence about a home-grown terror plot from an unlikely source - China. Bella is thrown headlong into a complex, multinational espionage operation, forcing her to walk a trip-wire of hidden agendas that sorely test her professional and personal loyalties.
Autorenporträt
Warren Reed is a former Australian Secret Intelligence Service (ASIS) agent with a continuing keen interest in geopolitics of globalisation, especially the burgeoning role of China and its increasingly close relationship with Russia. A regular media commentator on espionage and terrorism, Reed is often sought out to comment on the human side of spying. Born in Tasmania, Reed undertook two years National Service in the Australian Army before completing a degree in Political Science and Business Administration from the University of Tasmania. In 1973, he was admitted to the Law Faculty of the University of Tokyo as an Australia-Japan Business Cooperation Committee Scholar. On his return to Australia, Reed consulted for a major Japanese trading house before being recruited by ASIS and trained by the British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) in London. His ten-year career in clandestine work focused on Asia and the Middle East, and he has lived and worked in Tokyo, Cairo and New Delhi. Reed left ASIS in 1987 and subsequently held the position of Chief Operating Officer for CEDA. Fluent in written and spoken Japanese, Warren Reed's other language studies include Mandarin, Bahasa Indonesian and Arabic.
