This week, we’re giving away three copies of The Hidden Hand by Stella Rimington. The Hidden Hand is a gripping spy thriller about a Chinese student at Oxford caught in a covert operation to steal research. CIA agent Manon Tyler must uncover the truth before it's too late. With suspenseful twists and authentic intelligence details, the novel is praised for its fast-paced, intricate plotting. Here’s the blurb:
A historic institution is hiding a very modern threat.
The student
Ai Ming, a Chinese student, is forced by her government to transfer from Harvard to Oxford University, where she is recruited to an elite Chinese study centre based out of St Felix's College.
The scapegoat
Meanwhile, the centre's newly recruited head stumbles on its more sinister purpose: recruiting Chinese and sympathetic British students to steal high-value research and intellectual property. Unsure who at the university he can trust, he turns to CIA agent Manon Tyler for help.
The spy who might be their only hope…
But as Ai and another Chinese-American student are drawn deeper into a deadly game, will Manon be able to penetrate the heart of St Felix's secrets in time to save them?
