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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

Praise for Peter May:

He is a terrific writer doing something different. (Mark Billingham)

From the first page I knew I was in safe hands. I knew I could trust this writer. (Sophie Hannah)

Wonderfully compelling. (Kate Mosse)

A true pleasure to read.

Peter May is a writer I'd follow to the ends of the earth.

One of the best regarded crime series of recent years. (Boyd Tonkin)

Lyrical, empathetic and moving. (Alex Gray)

A wonderfully complex book. (Peter James, on Entry Island)

May's novels are strong on place and the wounds left by old relationships.

Will have the reader relishing every tendency of description and characterization. (Barry Forshaw)

Dark, exciting and atmospheric.

Powerful and authentic.

Sensational rubbish

The highly improbable behaviour of the female protagonist and the the gruesome descriptions of autopsies etc combine to outweigh the positives of this book. This is unfortunate as some of the other characters are very interesting as is the description of modern China with the many vestiges of its past well described. It is as though the author did not have enough confidence in his plot and ability to draw convincing characters and so added sensationalist elements to compensate. The narration was enjoyable with good differentiation of the people.
