A rare translation of Chinese military‑intelligence spy novels, authentic, intense, and rooted in the real power structures of modern China.

A world rarely seen by Western eyes.

Qiu Tian isn't a hero. She's a weapon, a ghost forged by a nation's secrets. She operates outside the boundaries of law and morality and walks in shadows. Trained to be unseen, unheard, unquestioned, Qiu Tian is China's most lethal operative, a master of covert operations where the lines between right and wrong blur with every mission. But even a weapon has a past, and when she's recalled to China after years of operating in the shadows, that past comes calling.

Now, with a new global conflict looming, Qiu Tian is tasked with a mission that will push her skills—and her conscience—to the limit. As tensions escalate between China, Russia, and the West, she finds herself caught in a web of deception, betrayal, and political maneuvering. She's a pawn in a game played by powerful forces, but she's also a force to be reckoned with.

But how far will she go to protect her country? How much of her humanity will she sacrifice? And what happens when the enemy isn't always who you expect?

Translated from the highly acclaimed Chinese novel, Angel Heading to Hell is a gripping espionage thriller that explores the complexities of loyalty, sacrifice, and the dark side of national security.
