Amid the friction between Trump and Xi Jinping, the team must work together to stay under the radar. While Jinping is aware of Maxine’s presence in China, he’s told it was because she was a travel writer working on a destination story. And while he has authorized troops to help Riley find his American consulate team members, Jinping has no idea that Riley is a CIA operative. Expect the usual danger and intrigue that always surrounds this couple.
