#2. "The Bank assigns Neal to keep an eye on Robert Pendleton, a chemical genius who has developed a valuable fertilizer. The CIA and the Chinese are after him too. Neal meets the beguiling Li Lan and begins a deadly game of hide-and-seek from San Francisco's Chinatown to the back streets of Hong Kong, to the dark heart of China. Neal must reach the fabled Buddha's Mirror, a lake where all secrets are revealed." - St. Martin's jacket notes.
Violence, suspense and surprises, with a dark ending. I found this one frustrating, didn't like as much as A Cool Breeze Blowing on the Underground. (
