PETER MAY: OVER 3 MILLION COPIES SOLD
‘A TERRIFIC WRITER’ MARK BILLINGHAM
‘A WRITER I’D FOLLOW TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH’ NEW YORK TIMES
FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE LEWIS TRILOGY AND THE ENZO THRILLERS

The first of Peter May’s China critically acclaimed thrillers featuring Beijing detective Li Yan and American pathologist Margaret Campbell.

LI YAN

A grotesquely burned corpse found in a city park is a troubling mystery for Beijing detective Li Yan. Yan, devoted to his career as a means of restoring the respect his family lost during the Cultural Revolution, needs outside help if he is to break the case.

MARGARET CAMPBELL

The unidentified cadaver in turn provides a welcome distraction for forensic pathologist Margaret Campbell. Campbell, married to her work and having left America and her broken past behind, throws herself into the investigation, and before long uncovers a bizarre anomaly.

THE FIREMAKER

An unlikely partnership develops between Li and Campbell as they follow the resulting lead. A fiery and volatile chemistry ignites: exposing not only their individual demons, but an even greater evil – a conspiracy that threatens their lives, as well as those of millions of others.
