The Plastic Surgeon and the Spy
Buying Time
by John Silverton
Washington
A senator. A spy. A mysterious death. A deception designed to stop a war.
Emily Chan arrives in the United States with a simple mission: gather intelligence from the inner workings of American power. Working quietly inside a senator's office, she passes information to handlers who believe they control her.
They are wrong.
As rival intelligence services close in and tensions rise across the Taiwan Strait, Emily discovers that the information she is being asked to deliver could help ignite a devastating conflict. Rather than retreat, she makes a choice that could cost her everything. She decides to manipulate the intelligence itself.
Meanwhile, plastic surgeon Dr. Jack Lambert finds himself drawn into events he neither sought nor understands. As unexplained deaths, hidden agendas, and international intrigue begin to converge, Jack is forced into a world where appearances can be deceiving and trust may be fatal.
Piece by piece, report by report, Emily constructs a carefully crafted illusion: a regional coalition preparing to defend Taiwan. If Beijing believes it, an invasion may be delayed. If the deception is exposed, she will vanish without a trace.
In the corridors of Washington, behind embassy doors, and within the shadow world of espionage, a hidden war of information unfolds. Loyalties shift. Motives remain uncertain. And the fate of millions may depend on whether one woman can keep the illusion alive long enough—and whether one man can uncover the truth before it is too late.
Because sometimes victory is not achieved on the battlefield.
Sometimes victory is simply buying time.

The Plastic Surgeon's Half Brother
Buried Secrets
by John SilvertonA hidden house. A buried family secret. A dangerous truth waiting to be uncovered.
When Ming is drawn into a quiet investigation of an old Hong Kong property, he expects to find documents, ownership records, and traces of a forgotten past. Instead, he discovers a concealed room, a cache of jewelry and sensitive material, and a secret that could endanger living people.
What begins as a quiet search soon leads into a family story shaped by exile, silence, and political fear. The documents in the room are not just historical remnants. They may expose dissidents, betrayals, and truths some would rather keep buried.
At the center of the mystery is a respected senior army doctor who turns out to be Ming’s father, and Dr. Jack Lambert, a plastic surgeon half brother Ming never knew he had. In a suspenseful story of family, identity, and political danger, **The Plastic Surgeon’s Half Brother** is a suspenseful story of identity, family, and the price of hidden history.
For readers of literary thrillers, family secrets, and politically charged suspense.
