Synopsis
Chinese Take-out spins a web of international deception, corruption and intrigue against the backdrop of a growing undercurrent in the Chinese democracy movement which periodically erupts with interesting consequences. A chance snippet of information and a suspicious mind lead to a complicated tale of detection involving lust, love and high-tech espionage in the remote US wilderness, an ex-agent who runs a dude ranch for the CIA, and intense activity on a number of fronts for a team of covert operatives. Woven into the tale is the story of a Chinese scientist who breaks all the rules and somehow survives as he pursues his love of the saxophone and democracy and somehow becomes part of a US Air Force jazz band performing at a festival in the UK. Chinese Take-out is a gripping narrative told with the skill of a master storyteller.

About the Author
Ian Mathie spent his childhood and early school years in Africa and Asia. After a short service commission in the RAF, he returned to Africa as a rural development officer working for the British government and a number of other agencies. He continued visiting Africa and Asia for work and personal interest until health considerations curtailed his travelling. He now lives in south Warwickshire with his wife and dog. He is the author of five volumes of memoir collectively known as the African Memoir Series. Chinese Take-out is his first novel.
Review
"The most compelling stories have multiple challenges. This one is no exception." - Sharon Lippincott via Amazon "Mathie weaves his quirky sense of humour into the tale that adds to both the development of the characters and my enjoyment of the book." - Yvonne Hertzberger via Amazon "With two complex interwoven stories, the book maintains suspense, switching between story lines. The reader moves between high-flying naval and air force personnel, government agents, wire-tapping experts and the President himself." - Margaret Sutherland via Amazon
