The Beijing Ripper makes a personal vendetta against Detective Li Yan in the sixth and final episode in the China series

GRUESOME MURDERS

His victims are young, beautiful and coldly mutilated. He calls himself the Beijing Ripper. Li Yan, head of Beijing's serious crime squad, must stop him.

FEARSOME LETTERS

Just as pathologist Margaret Campbell finds an insight into the killer's sick signature, Li receives a letter from the killer, betraying his cruel intentions.

CHINESE WHISPERS

There's no way Li can misinterpret the Ripper's motives: he wants to tear Li and Campbell's lives apart, and write the darkest chapter in Beijing's history.

Critic Reviews

A wonderfully complex book (Peter James, on Entry Island)
He is a terrific writer doing something different (Mark Billingham)
From the first page I knew I was in safe hands. I knew I could trust this writer (Sophie Hannah)
Wonderfully compelling (Kate Mosse)
A true pleasure to read
Peter May is a writer I'd follow to the ends of the earth
One of the best regarded crime series of recent years (Boyd Tonkin, on the Lewis Trilogy)
Lyrical, empathetic and moving (Alex Gray)
May's novels are strong on place and the wounds left by old relationships
Will have the reader relishing every tendency of description and characterization (Barry Forshaw)
Dark, exciting and atmospheric
Powerful and authentic
A gripping page-turner that combines edge-of-the-seat suspense with a fascinating picture of modern China
The plot is chilling and ingenious
Peter May opens a window on a vision of the modern Chinese political climate ... a tremendous collision of cultures
Fast, exciting ... an entertaining read that will also give food for thought
The plot twists and turns like the tail of a Chinese dragon. A cracking good read ... Highly recommended
The characters here are vivid and contrasting, and they grow and develop in a way usually only found in literary novels, and the plotting and evocation of atmosphere as professional as they come. An excellent series
Truly the best of May's series so far, this is not to be missed
All stars

Best one of the series

Chinese Whispers is well written and told by the May/Forbes partnership. You can feel the tension and frustration building in the characters as the story line unfolds against the race of time. It keeps you guessing throughout.

I have finished listening to all the China Thriller books now and each one has been totally engrossing and engaging because of Peter May's outstanding story writing and the absorbing characters that he creates. All of these books are bought brilliantly to life by the exceptional narration of Peter Forbes who makes the characters so real and believable that you feel you know them!

These books are fabulous entertainment and will not disappoint the listener. My only regret is the I have finished all of them and must sadly say goodbye to Margaret and Lee.

Compelling story yet again
