When security and fire alarms go off simultaneously all around the world, setting off a panic, the signal is traced back to China. As world leaders scramble to respond, mother and daughter Vivien and Alice Li are called to the White House in hopes Madame Li can decode the Chinese intentions.

Alice is a first-generation Chinese-American food blogger. A Chinese dissident who escaped China after Tiananmen Square, Vivien is now a globally recognized human rights activist and passionate advocate for a free and democratic China. While it makes some sense that the President would turn to Vivien, what isn't clear is why they'd want to talk to Alice.

Caught up in the chaos, Vivien and Alice are uniquely placed to stop the next, cataclysmic attack. But there are forces deep within both the American and Chinese governments intent on stopping mother and daughter. The estranged pair, who excels at misunderstanding each other, must figure out how to work together.

The increasingly frantic search for answers takes the women from the Oval Office to an office building in Akron, Ohio, from the noodle shops of Hong Kong to the necropolis of the first emperor. Along the way they must decode an old legend, and an old language invented by women, for women.

The Last Mandarin is the story of a mother and daughter, as well as a compelling international thriller about the precarious balance of power across the world, and within a family. And what happens when both break down.©2026 Louise Penny and Mellissa Fung (P)2026 Macmillan Audio Crime Thrillers Suspense Thriller & Suspense Çin Kurgu

An intelligent espionage thriller... Penny's trademark humor mingles well with Fung's political expertise. The result is an eerily plausible nail-biter

Beautifully narrated story. Exciting and thought provoking. The setting was fantastic and evocative for anyone who , like us, had the privilege of living in Hong Kong.

I have always loved Louise Penny’s lnspector Gamache series but this is a fast action thriller with so many twists and turns you need to keep your wits about you! Very well narrated too.

Amazing story

I love the Inspector Gamache books having read or listened to them all but this is hogwash. A plan to obliterate the world thwarted by a food blogger with mummy issues!!! And that’s not the most outlandish plot point. A US president with two brain cells and human empathy. Now that’s hard to believe in at the moment 😂

Unbelievable, no really unbelievable!

I enjoyed the content and characters within the story . I found the background and detailing interesting and original. The narrator’s tone kept the plot compelling and easy to listen.

An original nail biter
