Descriptions The Fourth Sacrifice: China Thriller 2 (The China Thrillers) PDF
THE SECOND NOVEL IN THE CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED CHINA SERIES, FROM THE MILLION-SELLING AUTHOR OF THE RICHARD AND JUDY BESTSELLER THE BLACKHOUSE.
THE SECOND OPINION
The Chinese police have once more been forced to enlist the services of American forensic pathologist Margaret Campbell: this time to investigate a series of four horrific ritual executions that have taken place in Beijing.
THE THIRD DEGREE
Detective Li Yan is determined to discover just how one of the victims in particular, an American diplomat, became caught up in the slaying. And he is arguably even more determined to have nothing to do with Campbell.
THE FOURTH SACRIFICE
The 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.
In Peter May's first novel, The Firemaker, Chinese homicide cop Li Yan and American pathologist Margaret saved the world from deadly GM rice and fell briefly in love before the authorities parted them. When the fourth of a series of ritualised beheadings involves an American citizen, Margaret finds herself obliged all over again to work with Li Yan, whom she despises for choosing his job over her; and of course neither of them find the situation easy.She was shocked by how Chinese he looked. When she had been with him almost every waking hour, she had ceased completely to see him as Chinese. He was just Li Yan, who touched her with a gentleness she had not known before in a man, whose eyes were soft and dark and full of humour and life ... Now all that familiarity was gone ... All she really felt towards him now was anger.
Complications outside the case involve the pursuit of Margaret by Michael, a glamorous television archaeologist, and the dumping of an unwanted daughter on Li Yan by his illegally pregnant sister while the case itself turns out to involve memories of a past everyone would rather forget. All of the victims were at the same high school in the sixties, and the first three were leaders of a group of Red Guards who drove teachers to humiliation and death. May is particularly good on the different ways in which that period's perpetrators and victims, often the same people, live with that past...This is an impressive and ingenious second novel--May is equally at home with investigation and with the lived experience of today's Beijing. --Roz Kaveney
