The Blonde from Peking

On a park bench in Paris lies an unknown pretty blonde woman - unconscious and without memories. A tattoo on her back points to a wealthy Chinese missile specialist. The secret services of the superpowers are burning for details. The Yanks, Russians and Chinese take turns chasing down the supposed agent. CIA chief Douglas takes her into his custody to guarantee the safe recovery of the blonde beauty. With all finesse they try to elicit information from the alleged secret bearer. But she turns out to be a clever disguise and leads all the secret services around by the nose. She herself is interested in the largest blue diamond in the world... A turbulent agent's adventure with satirical exaggerations and a lot of French cinema flair typical of the time. The novel was written by British thriller author James Hadley Chase (1906-1985).
