<p><strong>The China Factor</strong></p><p></p><p>In the spring of 2005, the FBI foils a government employee's attempt to provide confidential information to the Chinese. As the FBI struggles to understand why the information is valuable, its investigation entangles Capitol Hill staffer Kellie Liang and jeopardizes her nomination to a State Department position. Under scrutiny, Kellie thrusts herself into the FBI investigation. Seeking a voice of reason, Kellie reaches out to Aaron Foster only to learn that he is vacationing in Vietnam with his uncle, a war veteran. Surprisingly, Aaron believes he has found a Chinese corporate connection to the information theft, and from two sides of the world, Kellie and Aaron work to thwart China's efforts and save Kellie's nomination.</p><p></p><p><strong>Timothy Trainer</strong>, an attorney, worked in multiple federal government agencies and in the private sector.
