Overview
Step into the smog, politics, and hidden danger of modern Beijing with the complete China Thrillers series by Peter May, collected in one brand-new six-book paperback set. Follow Beijing detective Li Yan and American forensic pathologist Margaret Campbell across six gripping cases, from a corpse found in a public park to a ritual killer stalking the city. Fans of atmospheric, character-driven crime fiction set against a richly researched cultural backdrop will find this collection hard to put down.

About the Books
The China Thrillers are a six-book crime series following the evolving partnership between Beijing police detective Li Yan and visiting American forensic pathologist Margaret Campbell. The series opens with The Firemaker, in which a burned body in a Beijing park draws the pair together for the first time. The Fourth Sacrifice and The Killing Room escalate the stakes with ritual executions and a chilling string of murders that force Li Yan and Campbell to confront both a cunning killer and political pressure. Snakehead shifts part of the action to the United States, where a truck full of deceased Chinese immigrants in Texas pulls Campbell into a human trafficking case. The Runner uses the Beijing Olympics as its backdrop to explore national pride, ambition, and murder, while Chinese Whispers closes the series as a killer dubbed the Beijing Ripper targets Li Yan directly. Throughout, May blends twisting procedural plots with vivid depictions of China's culture and landscape, drawn from his own research. Each book stands alone, but read in order, the titles build a long-running character arc that rewards series fans. This brand-new set brings all six novels together.
