Snakehead

Human trafficking and inhuman terrorism – the fourth instalment in Peter May’s critically acclaimed series.

SUFFOCATED
A vehicle crammed with dozens of dead Chinese immigrants is found in southern Texas. Pathologist Margaret Campbell must put aside her horror, and find out why.

SUMMONED
Detective Li Yan – an even more unwelcome memory for Campbell – has arrived stateside to investigate a link in the case to a lucrative trade in illegal labourers.

SNAKEHEAD
Li and Campbell will soon find that the crime scene hides another secret: a biological time bomb linking traffickers, politicians and migrants in Beijing, Washington and Texas – posing multiple countries one, very singular, threat.
