Water Torture: A Brad West Thriller

Brad West is an anthropology student with in-depth knowledge of history, but little grasp of today's geopolitical realities. When he falls in love with a mysterious Chinese woman, he can't anticipate the enormous ramifications for his country. Until he suspects he is a pawn in a US government project. When his Chinese girlfriend suddenly disappears from his college campus, Brad finds himself on a direct flight to Hong Kong. In a dramatic collision between the exotic lifestyle of an American grad student and the inscrutable Orient, not only must Brad hurdle linguistic and cultural barriers and evade Chinese security forces, he must track down a madman intent on overthrowing Beijing in order to find and win back his girl.
