Something dreadful has happened in Beijing. A series of executions: four killings in four weeks, all alike in their bloody rituals. One of the victims is an American diplomat. Detective Li Yan, plagued by nightmares following the death of his mentor, is determined to find out how the diplomat got caught up in the killings. He is even more determined to have nothing to do with forensic pathologist Margaret Campbell.

But Li is out of luck. The Chinese police need a second opinion, and they are forced to enlist the help of Margaret, who until recently was desperate to leave the country which had caused her so much grief.

The fateful polarity that once attracted Yan and Campbell eventually pulls them back into partnership. Yet the closer they are drawn to the truth, the nearer they come to a killer prepared to use extreme force to conceal it.

The second in Peter May's explosive China Thrillers, which continues with The Killing Room
