Publisher's summary

The Beijing Ripper makes a personal vendetta against Detective Li Yan in the thrilling final episode of the 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 cruel 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 tightly woven plot." (Library Journal)

"The interesting locale and May's ongoing study of the difficulties in conducting Chinese-American romances are likely to interest a broader range of readers." (Kirkus Reviews)

"...Offers some fresh variations on the catch-the-serial-killer within an autocratic society plot...May nicely handles the business of using mental fingerprints to identify the criminal." (Publishers Weekly)

As always, at once pensive and gripping


The story was utterly thrilling, especially the “downfall” of Li, and the characters remained sympathetic and compelling.
