Klappentext zu „The Message “
China, 1941.At the height of the Second World War, Japan rules over China. In Hangzhou, a puppet government propped up by the Japanese wages an underground war against the Communist resistance.
Late one night, five intelligence officers, employed as codebreakers by the regime, are escorted to an isolated mansion outside the city. The secret police are certain that one of them is a communist spy. None of them is leaving until the traitor is unmasked.
It should be a straightforward case of sifting truth from lies. But as each codebreaker spins a story that proves their innocence, what really happened is called into question again and again.

Pressezitat
This is a spy novel on a grand scale in which nothing is at seems... This slyly playful narrative makes it clear, all that really matters is the storytelling. Give it a little time and The Message will draw you into a deliciously sticky web' The Times
