Blurb (from back cover): "In the fourth of Peter May's acclaimed China Thrillers, American pathologist Margaret Campbell finds herself back on home soil, confronted by a truck full of dead Chinese and an unavoidable confrontation with her past.
"Beijing detective Li Yan, now based at the Chinese embassy in Washington, is dispatched to find out how his fellow countrymen suffocated in a sealed refrigeration unit in southern Texas-only to find himself face-to-face with the woman who walked out of China, and his life.
"Li Yan and Margaret Campbell are tasked to work together again to find out who is behind the $100 million trade in illegal Chinese immigrants which led to the tragedy in Texas. They soon discover that these immigrants were unwitting carriers of a deadly cargo.
"Still wrestling with the demons of their pasts, Li and Margaret find themselves racing against time to defuse a biological timebomb that threatens to wipe out not only their future, but that of humankind."
Opinion: I've read other Peter May books and wasn't a big fan. This one, originally written in 2002 is probably the best one of his that I've read. For a more complete review, please check out MyShelf.com in the future months.
