DRAGON PORTFOLIO, THE by Richard Hoyt - FIRST EDITION BOOK

Offered the chance to buy secrets from certain Chinese officials wishing to raise venture capital, the CIA's Hong Kong station chief, Ella Nidech, thrills to the opportunities now open to a well-trained, ambitious intelligence agent. Her elaborate plan of operation almost fails, however, when a James Bond-type villain kidnaps a man central to its success. Needless to say, Nidech mounts an immediate offensive that results in adventure and violence complete with private islands, deadly kung fu, and fighter helicopters.
