Critics Review
-
"...Offers some fresh variations on the catch-the-serial-killer within an autocratic society plot...May nicely handles the business of using mental fingerprints to identify the criminal."
—Publishers Weekly -
"The interesting locale and May's ongoing study of the difficulties in conducting Chinese-American romances are likely to interest a broader range of readers."
—Kirkus Reviews -
"This book is much more than just a run of the mill who-dun-it, think Silence of the Lambs crossed with Quincy, with a bit of the Lonely Planet's guide to Beijing thrown in."
—Daily Record -
"Entertaining reading, with a fascinating setting and an appealing sleuth."
—The Daily Telegraph

"A major appeal of the series is the Chinese setting and May doesn't disappoint...a master at evoking the city."
—INK Magazine -
"A tightly woven plot."
—Library Journal -
"Peter May's latest crime thriller is a terrifying piece of writing...what a magnificent, horrible, tortuous, and lurid story!"
—The Chronicle -
"As soon as I'd taken in the first few pages, I wanted to read the five earlier books (beginning with The Firemaker) in this police procedural series set in modern Beijing. There's a surprising resolution and a crescendo of a conclusion, all of which made me want to read more about this unusual couple."
