The second book in "The Chinese Woman" series. Al-Qaeda terrorists, posing as Spaniards, have crossed into the US from Mexico and arrived in New York with a plan far more dangerous and devastating than 9-11. Once again FBI agent, Sean McNamara and Li Mei work together to discover the terrorist plot but time is running out and half the population of New York is facing obliteration. Why are Chinese agents in New York and why are MOSSAD agents trying to kill Li Mei? The people of New York have only a day or two to live when FBI agent McNamara is arrested and this vital investigation grinds to a halt.
