A gripping espionage thriller and romance set during the Vietnam War. Based on a true story of the author's uncle, the novel follows Agent 022 on his deadly mission to infiltrate South Vietnam, and the American involvement. With the help of Mrs Tan and Little Lien, he assumes the identity of Police Lieutenant, Tu. We read with interest as he integrates seamlessly into Southern Vietnamese society. However, to gain higher social esteem, and access further top secret information, he is forced to marry Nicole, who is the beautiful daughter of a French landowner. Torn between love and guilt for his first wife back in North Vietnam, he struggles with his increasing feelings for his new wife and family. This is a unique book, told from the perspective of one sympathetic to North Vietnam. It highlights the simplicity of their lives and hardships that they faced. Through Agent 022, we see his thoughts and observations of capitalism; a view that is rarely seen or documented.
