  <description><![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Margaret Campbell had finally decided to leave Beijing---and the man she loved---and return home to the States. She had first come to Beijing to conduct a seminar on her specialty, forensic pathology, for the city&#8217;s police. The invitation turned out to ask for more than she expected; she was thrust into the search for a murderer. This was how she met and came to fall in love with the Beijing police detective Li Yan. Although they began as enemies, the attraction between them was overwhelming---until personal tragedies pulled them apart. <br/>&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Now the police need an answer to a series of gruesome murders. Four men have been killed; the first three were Chinese and the fourth man was born in China but became an American in his youth. All were victims of what looks like ritual sacrifices. <br/>&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The U.S. ambassador practically forces Margaret to work once more with Li Yan. She buries her pain and turns to a new admirer for her free time---an American archaeologist who is making a television documentary. As Margaret and Li Yan investigate, they come closer and closer to finding the truth behind the killer&#8217;s executions. They also come closer to a killer who will sacrifice anyone to conceal a secret.<br/>&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This second in the China Thriller series is another testament to Peter May&#8217;s ability to write captivating characters that move stealthily through Beijing&#8217;s vibrant and dangerous setting.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;<br/>            &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;]]></description>

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Margaret Campbell had finally decided to leave Beijing---and the man she loved---and return home to the States. She had first come to Beijing to conduct a seminar on her specialty, forensic pathology, for the city&#8217;s police. The invitation turned out to ask for more than she expected; she was thrust into the search for a murderer. This was how she met and came to fall in love with the Beijing police detective Li Yan. Although they began as enemies, the attraction between them was overwhelming---until personal tragedies pulled them apart. <br/>&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Now the police need an answer to a series of gruesome murders. Four men have been killed; the first three were Chinese and the fourth man was born in China but became an American in his youth. All were victims of what looks like ritual sacrifices. <br/>&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The U.S. ambassador practically forces Margaret to work once more with Li Yan. She buries her pain and turns to a new admirer for her free time---an American archaeologist who is making a television documentary. As Margaret and Li Yan investigate, they come closer and closer to finding the truth behind the killer&#8217;s executions. They also come closer to a killer who will sacrifice anyone to conceal a secret.<br/>&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This second in the China Thriller series is another testament to Peter May&#8217;s ability to write captivating characters that move stealthily through Beijing&#8217;s vibrant and dangerous setting.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;<br/>            &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Margaret Campbell had finally decided to leave Beijing---and the man she loved---and return home to the States. She had first come to Beijing to conduct a seminar on her specialty, forensic pathology, for the city&#8217;s police. The invitation turned out to ask for more than she expected; she was thrust into the search for a murderer. This was how she met and came to fall in love with the Beijing police detective Li Yan. Although they began as enemies, the attraction between them was overwhelming---until personal tragedies pulled them apart. <br/>&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Now the police need an answer to a series of gruesome murders. Four men have been killed; the first three were Chinese and the fourth man was born in China but became an American in his youth. All were victims of what looks like ritual sacrifices. <br/>&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The U.S. ambassador practically forces Margaret to work once more with Li Yan. She buries her pain and turns to a new admirer for her free time---an American archaeologist who is making a television documentary. As Margaret and Li Yan investigate, they come closer and closer to finding the truth behind the killer&#8217;s executions. They also come closer to a killer who will sacrifice anyone to conceal a secret.<br/>&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This second in the China Thriller series is another testament to Peter May&#8217;s ability to write captivating characters that move stealthily through Beijing&#8217;s vibrant and dangerous setting.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;<br/>            &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Margaret Campbell had finally decided to leave Beijing---and the man she loved---and return home to the States. She had first come to Beijing to conduct a seminar on her specialty, forensic pathology, for the city&#8217;s police. The invitation turned out to ask for more than she expected; she was thrust into the search for a murderer. This was how she met and came to fall in love with the Beijing police detective Li Yan. Although they began as enemies, the attraction between them was overwhelming---until personal tragedies pulled them apart. <br/>&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Now the police need an answer to a series of gruesome murders. Four men have been killed; the first three were Chinese and the fourth man was born in China but became an American in his youth. All were victims of what looks like ritual sacrifices. <br/>&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The U.S. ambassador practically forces Margaret to work once more with Li Yan. She buries her pain and turns to a new admirer for her free time---an American archaeologist who is making a television documentary. As Margaret and Li Yan investigate, they come closer and closer to finding the truth behind the killer&#8217;s executions. They also come closer to a killer who will sacrifice anyone to conceal a secret.<br/>&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This second in the China Thriller series is another testament to Peter May&#8217;s ability to write captivating characters that move stealthily through Beijing&#8217;s vibrant and dangerous setting.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;<br/>            &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;]]>
