Praise for The Fourth Sacrifice “May exposes Beijing’s dirty charm in a country grappling with modernity.” -Entertainment Weekly “An electrifying mixture of mystery, romance and history.” -Kirkus Reviews Li Yan, a senior detective with the Beijing Municipal Police, and Magaret Campbell, a forensic pathologist from Chicago, cross paths when Margaret’s unique skills are required to investigate a series of ritual executions in Beijing. The four victims were drugged, tied, labeled with a single word and a single number-then expertly beheaded. But unlike the first three, the last was an American diplomat, Yuan Tao. No one knows why he returned to Beijing after a lifetime in America, why he took a lowly job at the American embassy, why he rented a simple flat in a poor neighborhood-or why he died in this bizarre way. Compelled to work with one another despite the overwhelming attraction that nearly destroyed them both when they first met, Margaret and Li Yan slowly uncover deadly secrets and face a killer who will sacrifice anyone to conceal them. Peter May’s China Thrillers have won critical acclaim around the world, and he is the only Westerner to be made an honorary member of The Chinese Crime Writers’ Association, Beijing Chapter. May is married to writer Janice Hally and lives in France.
