NOTES

Read by Feodor Chin

James Church returns with the latest Inspector O thriller, once again set between North Korea and China-one of the most contentious borders in the world. A Spanish factory near Barcelona is secretly producing-under the guise of a dumpling maker-a machine crucial to the production of nuclear weapons. Western intelligence has gotten wind of this and believes that the machine is meant for North Korea. It is deemed imperative either to disable the machine before it leaves the factory or intercept it. Inspector O is recruited by an old friend to take part in an operation to disrupt the plans for shipping the machine. The buyer of the machine has constructed an elaborate double-blind story, carefully planting information and setting up events to make Western intelligence operatives believe that a Japanese criminal organization is acting on behalf of the North Koreans. The feints include a flurry of murders near the North Korean border, in the Chinese city of Yanji, where O's nephew is the chief of state security. Fans of the previous Inspector O novels will not be able to stop listening to Church's latest suspense-filled installment
