Assignment Peking

Description for ASSIGNMENT: PEKING by Edward S Aarons: “Durell? Sam Durell?” Sam stood silent and motionless.> “Sam, please answer me. It is quite all right. You can answer.” Sam heard a scratching sound, a faint click of metal on metal. There was quiet, sustained breathing. The voice called again. “Major Shan! Shan Tze Peng!” “I am here,” said Durell. “Mr. Shan, I will get you out of here. I shall save you!” Sam knew the words were a lie. He smelled danger. It was death breathing outside his door. Someone had already betrayed him. Someone who knew he was wearing another man's face. Someone Sam Durell had trusted for a long time…maybe even loved. The slant-eyed stranger in his mirror looked back at him with growing horror… This is #28 in A Sam Durell Novel.
