A wonderfully complex book
He is a terrific writer doing something different
From the first page I knew I was in safe hands. I knew I could trust this writer
Wonderfully compelling
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
Lyrical, empathetic and moving
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
Dark, exciting and atmospheric
Powerful and authentic
A gripping page-turner that combines edge-of-the-seat suspense with a fascinating picture of modern China
The plot is chilling and ingenious
Peter May opens a window on a vision of the modern Chinese political climate ... a tremendous collision of cultures
Fast, exciting ... an entertaining read that will also give food for thought
The plot twists and turns like the tail of a Chinese dragon. A cracking good read ... Highly recommended
The characters here are vivid and contrasting, and they grow and develop in a way usually only found in literary novels, and the plotting and evocation of atmosphere as professional as they come. An excellent series
Truly the best of May's series so far, this is not to be missed
