Night Heron

Set against the backdrop of modern China, this gripping debut reinvents the spy thriller genre for today’s world. The story follows Peanut, a former MI6 spy who escapes a labor camp and navigates the heavily monitored streets of Beijing, seeking extraction in exchange for military secrets. As he enlists the help of journalist Philip Mangan, they soon discover that the secrets at stake hold far greater value than either anticipated, with implications that extend well beyond their own agendas.
