Star of the North

Star of the North / D. B. John, Narrated by Linda Park, 402 pages

Years after her twin sister disappeared from a South Korean beach, Professor Jenna Williams gets word that she may have been part of a North Korean program to kidnap outsiders and learn their secrets. Originally not too excited about it, she quits her University job and goes into training with the CIA.  We also meet Colonel Cho in North Korea, he too is a twin who keeps learning even more disturbing things about the government he serves.  Mrs. Moon is a former prisoner, recently freed who is trying to make her way in North Korea.  The intersection of these main characters is interesting. Sometimes an action thriller, sometimes a more intimate story, this political story will keep you interested.
