The Spy's Daughter book cover. Author: Adam Brookes

THE FINAL INSTALLMENT OF THE PHILIP MANGAN TRILOGY…

MEET PEARL TAO: AN AMERICAN GIRL WITH A LETHAL SECRET

Pearl longs for the life of a normal American teenager: summers at the pool, friends, backyard barbecues in the Washington DC suburbs. 

But she is different. 

Pearl has a gift for mathematics, a college sponsorship from a secretive technology corporation, and a family riven with anger and dysfunction. 

And it's only now, at nineteen years old, that she has started to understand what role she is to play. What her parents intend for her. 

For Pearl Tao, any hope of escape lies with two British spies: Trish Patterson, sidelined in disgrace, and Philip Mangan, blown and discredited, and following his own trail of corruption. 

Finding the truth of Pearl Tao will be the most urgent, the most dangerous mission they'll ever undertake. 

The Spy’s Daughter is the third installment in the Philip Mangan series, follow up on Night Heron and Spy Games.

Praise for The Spy’s Daughter

The final instalment of Brookes' Mangan trilogy secures its status as a classic. (50 Best Books of 2017) -The Telegraph

Brookes's riveting and accomplished novel brings to an end his globetrotting trilogy centred on Mangan; hopefully whatever he does next will also be espionage fiction, a genre where Brookes's background as a China correspondent gives him a significant advantage over his peers. -Sunday Times

Blends a deep understanding of realpolitik with a sophisticated literary sensibility. For once, comparisons to John le Carre are fully warranted. -Chicago Tribune
