Summary:
"A propulsive and ambitious thriller about a woman trying to rescue her twin sister from captivity in
North
Korea, and the
North
Korean citizens with whom she forms an unlikely alliance
Star
of the
North
opens in 1988, when a Korean American teenager is kidnapped from a South Korean beach by
North
Korean operatives. Twenty-two years later, her brilliant twin sister, Jenna, is still searching for her, and ends up on the radar of the CIA. When evidence that her sister may still be alive in
North
Korea comes to light, Jenna will do anything possible to rescue her--including undertaking a daring mission into the heart of the regime. Her story is masterfully braided together with two other narrative threads. In one, a
North
Korean peasant woman finds a forbidden international aid balloon and uses the valuables inside to launch a dangerously lucrative black-market business. In the other, a high-ranking
North
Korean official discovers, to his horror, that he may be descended from a traitor, a fact that could mean his death if it is revealed. As the novel progresses, these narrative strands converge and connect in surprising ways, ultimately building to an explosive and unforgettable climax."--From publisher.
