The first bullet caught the girl her in the shoulder, the second in the thigh... ¿¿The Chinese border guard stopped firing - she was dead, snared in the wire that had ended her dash for freedom. The Hong Kong police could collect her body in the morning. The murderous old men who clung to power in Peking would never know how close she had come to unmasking their prize spymaster in the West. The elusive Scorpion - who has penetrated the nerve centre of the Trident submarines they fear so much because they still have no defence against them. And now Scorpion has also penetrated the seething opposition that threatens to destroy the last and greatest Communist empire . . . The Year of the Scorpion is Michael Hartland's finest achievement - an explosive thriller packed with action, courage, love and betrayal.

Autorenporträt
"Before taking up writing, Michael Hartland spent twenty years travelling widely in Europe and the Far East as a diplomat, then working in counter-terrorism and for the United Nations. He draws on this experience to describe the secret world of espionage with insight and great authenticity. His first book DOWN AMONG THE DEAD MEN was a bestseller and his ground-breaking series of espionage novels established him as one of the leading thriller writers in Britain and the United States. They have been translated into twenty-seven European languages and Japanese, adapted for BBC Radio-4 and television - and remain among the most fast-moving and gripping spy novels ever published. Michael has also made documentaries on espionage for television and BBC Radio-4; and written for The Times, Daily Telegraph and The Guardian. He and his family live in Devon, where he is working on a new project inspired by contemporary Islamic terrorism."
