Kit Olson is a top-notch computer programmer. She's so good, her employer, the CIA, pulls her into a top-secret project. Her task? To interpret a computer program written in Chinese and find its purpose. She soon discovers that the code is simple, designed to count. But if it's that simple, why are the people who worked on it before her dead?

The stakes rise immediately as Kit's son is kidnapped, and she is coerced into providing information on the program. Discredited by certain government officials and implicated in the murders of former coworkers, Kit seemingly has nowhere to take the evidence she discovers of what the computer program really does: inaccurately count votes, which results in the election to office of certain people who have the best interests of China in mind.

In a wild race to expose the program before the winner of one of its vote tallies is sworn into office, Kit finds herself making desperate moves and trusting the wrong people. A superb twist brings together all of the plot elements at the end.

China Conspiracy can be best described as taking a heart-pounding ride on the hair-raising turns of a roller coaster.

Author Patricia Terrell, or p.m. terrell, heats up the suspense and increases the temperature degree by excruciating degree. An expert in the computer field herself, Terrell brings authenticity and an insider look at the way things work behind the scenes in the government. Her clients have included the US Secret Service, CIA and the Department of Defense, as well as various local law enforcement agencies.

China Conspiracy is the second in a series of suspense/thriller books with strong female heroines well-versed in the various positions in the technology world.

Terrell wastes no words as she brings to life the peril and suspense her characters face. Strong dialogue and vivid characters, coupled with detailed setting, work seamlessly to fill the pages of China Conspiracy. The author has effortlessly set herself at the top of the ranks of suspense writers.
