The Chinese Doll
What happens when your matchmaker turns out to be the Chinese Communist Party?
Australian artificial intelligence expert, Daniel Petersen, is tricked into a relationship with Mei Wong, a member of the local Chinese diaspora.
Mei is an innocent and reluctant participant in a plot planned over many years and driven by China's insatiable need for intelligence.
By accident, the plot is revealed and the Australian Federal Police, and other global security resources, detect similar plots afoot worldwide. A global sweep of the local diaspora is executed to scoop up perpetrators and victims.
Undaunted by the attack on their network, the CCP, having initially failed to get what they want in secret, up the stakes in a rash move that threatens both Daniel's and Mei's lives.
When their Plan B goes awry the CCP activities are exposed to the world, and they are forced into sweeping changes with ramifications at the pinnacle of their despotic regime.

Really loved this book - it had a bit of everything, drama, mystery, romance, plus I loved that it was set in Melbourne where the author described beautifully areas that I knew well when I was younger, it really drew me back to those places.
It's a fast paced, easy read, and very hard to put down!
