Computer Caper Chaos
P. M. Terrell, author of the wildly successful KICKBACK, is back with another hair-raising, fast-paced thriller pitting a savvy programmer, a tv news reporter out of his depths, & an enigmatic Chinese-American translator against a dogged police inspector, a newly elected politician & the shadow men of the CIA & FBI.
From a news conference with a governor-elect who has a strange reaction to the phrase "starving children in China," to a ski resort in a blizzard where snow plows unearth a corpse, to an inner chamber where computer printouts of a super-secret program must be decoded, to an inauguration on the steps of a state's Capitol, to clandestine meetings and security lockdowns, THE CHINA CONSPIRACY winds the excitement tight, as Kit Olsen & her amateur team pursue the conspirators who have put the results of a recent election in doubt.
