WW2 is over. But there’s a new war and it’s quiet. Secret. And a political decoy, a secret in and of herself, gets interrogated. Also in secret. She looks like, sounds like, moves like, and acts like Madame Chiang-Kai Shek, the First Lady of the Republic of China. But she is not her. She’s the Decoy.
The United States spent a whole lot of money in the Pacific War so that China could win over Japan, but only to “lose” China to the Communists. Where did all the money go and did they go to the right places? Who is the Madame and who is this Decoy? Does the Decoy have her own plans? These are the questions these secret House Un-American Activities Committee interrogators want the Decoy to answer, as she deftly navigates fact, fiction, history, and her own personal demons related to her inimitable accomplishment of impersonating such an influential and powerful woman.
