Reseñas de la Crítica

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

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, on the Lewis Trilogy)

Lyrical, empathetic and moving (Alex Gray)

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

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
