About this listen
The penultimate novel in the China series, from the Richard and Judy million-selling author of The Blackhouse.
The Sufferer
A prodigious Chinese swimmer kills himself on the eve of the Beijing Olympics. Days later, a champion weightlifter suffers a fatal heart attack prior to competition.
The Listener
Detective Li Yan senses a conspiracy surrounding the fatalities and finds a female athlete willing to talk. But she will trust only one person: Li's fiancée, Margaret Campbell.
The Runner
When Campbell's contact herself vanishes, the gun is fired on a race against time. And Li must now outrun, and outwit, an enemy bent on pushing him beyond endurance.

Another great book by Peter May
I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
Peter May tells an excellent story with many interesting plot lines entwined in the overall story.
His characters are so real - I feel that I know them!
I also love that he lets the reader experience the location of the story - be it China in this book or the Isle of Lewis in another.
I also love the narrator and hope that Peter Forbes continues to narrate all of Peter May's books.
Can't wait to read my next Peter May book and I'll be very sad when I've read / listened to them all !!

So So Good!!
Such a great book, continuing on from the other books in the series.
When you get a book that good, it's hard to put down. Peter Forbes is an excellent narrator!
