While researching a book about forced abortions in China, an American journalist crosses paths with powerful politicians and businessmen, each more corrupt and dangerous than the last. Their tentacles run from rural China through Hong Kong, New York, Amsterdam and West Africa-an Orwellian conspiracy to maintain global order at the expense of personal freedom and the natural environment. This globetrotting literary thriller recalls the tense international novels of Graham Greene and John LeCarré, with a startling and timely theme.
