The White Tigress — Todd Merer

Nearly being indicted convinced Benn Bluestone to quit drug lawyering. Now he just wants to sleep well and turn an honest buck. A case as trustee for an unstable young woman seems like just the ticket…but this ride began in World War II, continued through the Golden Triangle heroin trade, navigated a serpentine trail of spies and international corruption, and ended up on a remote South China Sea atoll, where nuclear war between the United States and China threatens to destroy the world.

Now Benn has no choice but to draw on the maneuvers of the past he escaped. It's more than a last shot at redemption. It's the only way to get everyone out alive.
