Toby's colleague, Donna, his lover, helps in his quest while a mysterious college student, Kathy, invades the scene. The path leads deep into China. The story is a vivid picture of what the country and its people were like in the seventies: full of intrigue under a totalitarian regime. Guangzhou, Guilin, the Yangtze, and Chongking lead to Beijing and a triple-whammy ending.
