Beijing detective Li Yan and American pathologist Margaret Campbell investigate the death of a
government scientist. They uncover a conspiracy: one that not only threatens their lives but
the lives of millions. A burned corpse is a disturbing mystery for Beijing Detective Li Yan
until he enlists forensic pathologist Margaret Campbell. Having abandoned a broken life in
Chicago for her work she's as determined as Li to ask difficult questions about the man's
death. But some questions have answers that they'd rather not hear facts that others are
desperate to conceal. The Firemaker is the first in the acclaimed China Thriller series from
Peter May author of Runaway Entry Island and the Lewis trilogy.
