Lädt ... Dance with the Dragon (2007)von David Hagberg
   Keine Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch.  DrLed | Oct 27, 2023 |   Very little action. Mostly conversations that didn't seem to amount to much and the dialog was not as good as previous novels, felt stilted at times. It looks like this is the lead-in to the next crisis, but this could have been done in less then 100 pages of that book.

The body of a CIA agent is dumped on the steps of the US embassy in Mexico. His last operation was to tap into the communications of the Chinese embassy, but there is no record of why.
The agency again turns to Kirt McCarvey - an old warhorse trying to retire - to figure out the connection between China and the murdered agent.
Hit only informant is a darkly sensuous Iranian belling dancer. Though her story changes with the wind, her shattered mind holds the only clues to the terrifying truth behind the agent's death.' From the book cover.
Review: The only likable character in the whole story is the computer geek. The story drags with dialogue that no one would believe, and details that are completely inane. Although this is one of a series, I won't be reading any of the other books. (
