Hidden deep in the mountains, the recruits at 'Unit 701', China's secret services, operate in a dark, shadowy world.

Rezensionen

In the Dark has all the hallmarks of a thriller... its immense readability derives from the pervading air of mystery, the Orwellian depiction of Chinese state security... A twisting, riddling and compellingly original exploration of thwarted geniuses and restricted lives Malcolm Forbes National
