Book Synopsis
A thrillingly authentic novel about truth, power, politics and friendship, from one of our most revered and experienced foreign correspondents

Trade Review
'fast-paced ...The novel allows Simpsons to stretch his writing muscles.' * Irish Times *

'All novelists draw on their own experiences to some extent in their writing, but John Simpson goes much further. In Our Friends in Beijing, his second foray into fiction, the BBC's long-serving world affairs editor reveals in public for the first time an old wound from the 30-plus war zones from which he has reported.'

* Telegraph *
This is a clever, atmospheric and in its best moments nail bitingly tense novel. Swift and Simpson are the ideal company for a journey down the mean streets of an alarming new world. * Shots Mag *
