Bestselling author Adam Williams reads from his latest novel 'The Dragon's Tail'...
When Harry Airton returns to Mao's China at the height of the Cold War, it is to exact his revenge on a regime that has exiled him and destroyed the country he knew as a child. The plan, conceived by a British Intelligence agent during the Korean War and patiently nurtured for 12 years, is fool proof, because Harry is the spy whose cover cannot be broken. He has the secrets China needs. Even the honey trap has been foreseen...
But not the bait. Innocent Ziwei, blackmailed by an unscrupulous Communist spymaster, has been told to seduce Harry by whatever means it takes, or her mother will be shot.
As the cynical machinations of two opposing spy services spin their deadly webs, two lovers find themselves faced with a terrible choice. Either way it’s a betrayal and sacrifice - of their countries or their humanity.
As China becomes engulfed in the horrors of the Cultural Revolution, and the world goes mad around them, Harry and Ziwei must contemplate the unthinkable to survive.
