Review
Addictive, profoundly weird (Spectator)
Extraordinary, gripping (Financial Times)
Stranger than fiction (Independent)
An absolutely brilliant page-turner
(Daily Mail)Captivatingly tells perhaps the most extraordinary tale from the world's most bizarre country. That a North Korean dictator should kidnap two South Korean movie stars and force them to make films he hoped would rival Hollywood seems the stuff of fantasy . . . Flabbergasting (Paul French, author of international bestseller 'Midnight in Peking')
A true story of desperate movie stars, daring escapes, and the paranoid leader who brought it all together. Equal parts history, thriller, and farce . . . will keep you engrossed until the very end (Matt Baglio, co-author of 'New York Times' bestseller Argo)
