The center's newly recruited head, Manon Tyler, is tasked with recruiting Chinese and sympathetic British students to steal high-value research and intellectual property. Unsure who to trust, Manon turns to CIA agent Manon Tyler for help. As Li and another Chinese-American student are drawn deeper into a deadly game, Manon must penetrate the heart of St. Felix's secrets in time to save them. "The Liar's Girl" has received praise for its intriguing and cleverly-plotted storyline, fast-paced action, insider information, and authenticity.
