Publisher Description

SUFFOCATED

A vehicle crammed with dozens of dead Chinese immigrants is found in southern Texas. Forensic pathologist Margaret Campbell must put aside her horror and find out why.

SUMMONED

Detective Li Yan -- an even more unwelcome memory for Campbell -- has arrived stateside to investigate a link in the case to a lucrative trade in illegal laborers.

SNAKEHEAD

Li and Campbell will soon find that the crime scene hides another secret: a biological time bomb linking traffickers, politicians, and migrants in Beijing, Washington, and Texas -- posing multiple countries one very singular threat.

Overall Performance:
" This fourth book in May's China series switches the setting to the USA, causing the book to lose some of its appeal for me. It was very consistent w/earlier books in the series as far as plot development and figuring out who the bad guys were and as usual w/May the coincidences certainly pile up. "

Overall Performance:
" part of the China Thriller series, but this one was set in Texas. The premise is a bit scary-because there's too much possibility, but it was a good read. "
— Rosemary, 6/8/2013
Overall Performance:
" There's plenty of action in this book and a lot at stake in terms of the Spanish flu virus carried unknowingly into the U.S. by illegal Chinese immigrants, but I just couldn't connect to the characters on the level I hoped to. "

" Good read, but too much description for my taste. Ignore all that wordy stuff and you have a much better read, at least I did. "

About Peter May

Peter May, born and raised in Scotland, was an award-winning journalist at the age of twenty-one and a published novelist at twenty-six. When his first book was adapted as a major drama series for the BBC, he quit journalism and during the high-octane fifteen years that followed, became one of Scotland’s most successful television dramatists. He created three prime-time drama series, presided over two of the highest-rated serials in his homeland as script editor and producer, and worked on more than 1,000 episodes of ratings-topping drama before deciding to leave television to return to his first love, writing novels. He has won several literature awards in France, received the USA’s Barry Award for The Blackhouse, the first in his internationally bestselling Lewis Trilogy; and in 2014 Entry Island won the Deanston’s Scottish Crime Novel of the Year and the ITV Specsavers Crime Thriller Book Club Best Read of the Year Award.
