Dragon-Spit

1960. The 7th Jonas Forbes thriller.
      In Beijing the Chinese Government decides to disrupt international enemies by infiltrating the UK system.. They order the Chinese Embassy in London to infiltrate the CND Movement to change Labour Party Policy on nuclear weapons and so split UK and US Defence Policies.

Violence intrudes into rivalries both inside and outside the Chinese Embassy.
      Will Jonas expose traitors or will the Chinese undermine the British Trade Union movement? Who will triumph within the Chinese Embassy? Can the USSR exploit the situation?
