Quiller Bamboo (1991)

LONDON. Summoned late at night to the Bureau, Quiller attends a secret conference with the Foreign Secretary and a surprise defector: the Chinese ambassador to Britain. Minutes later the ambassador's body is flung out onto the sidewalk of a deserted London street, riddled with bullets.

CALCUTTA. Quiller is sent to meet Sojourner, the key figure in a plan to bring demoncracy to China. The same night Sojourner, too, lies dead, the shadow of a hooded cobra weaving across his body.

HONG KONG. Quiller snatches Dr. Xingyu, the notorious Chinese dissident, from a trap set by the Chinese secret police at Kaitak Airport and smuggles him into Tibet.

LHASA. Quiller's instructions are to fly Dr. Xingyu into Beijing, but he is threatened at every step by the secret police and the People's Liberation Army in a relentless manhunt among the ruined monasteries on the "roof of the world," where the cold and the altitude along can kill.

QUILLER BAMBOO. For the first time in his career, Quiller feels himself personally engaged in a mission, for the aim of Bamboo is to avenge the tragic bloodshed of Tiananmen Square, Beijing, and help the people of China achieve the freedom and democracy they crave.

Quiller in the Dragon's Lair

An outspoken refugee from the massacre at Tiananmen Square is hiding somewhere in the outback regions of China. The West wants him to spearhead the reborn democracy movement. The Chinese government wants him dead. And Quiller must breach the Bamboo Curtain in order to lead the rebel to safety -- dodging bullets from the dark alleys of Hong Kong to the ruined monasteries of Tibet. A successful completion of his assignment could sound the death knell for the Communist regime in Beijing. But first Quiller must survive the lethal treacheries of dangerous political splinter groups, the Chinese secret police ... and the hunted dissident himself.
