In his edgy and compelling thriller The China Puzzle, author Robert J. Kaplan introduces us to the fascinating minds and corridors of the CIA and the highly complex world of international bio-terrorism. With heart-stopping conflict, Jake Jacobs leads his anti-terrorist team through a labyrinth of encrypted messages and the threat of biological warfare, the tension level ratcheted even higher by the overwhelming likelihood that enemy agents have infiltrated Washington and are pulling strings in very high places. With the tension of a Baldacci thriller and the character development of LeCarre, the author catapults the reader into a tale of espionage and potential devastation that strikes us as both plausible and terrifying."
