Praise for Dragon Bones
“Stays with you long after the conventional thriller is forgotten.”

“LisaSee is one of the classier practitioners of . . . the internationalthriller. . . . She draws her characters . . . with convincing depth,and offers up documentary social detail that reeks of freshly rakedmuck. See’s China is as vivid as Upton Sinclair’s Chicago.”
—The New York Times Book Review
