May, P. (2002). Snake Head. London: Riverrun.
Dr Anne read the Peter May's Lewis Trilogy recently and enjoyed the content and the writing style. She was standing in W H Smith on her way to Edinburgh and saw one of Peter May's China thrillers. This book took her from Aberdeen to London to Bonn where she was officiating at the annual Spring Fling of the RSCDS.
The story focused on the illegal immigration of the Chinese into the USA via Mexico. A true load of immigrants were found dead in a fruit and veg container. More sinister was the fact that they had been injected with the Spanish Flu of the early 20th century. Li Yan the detective from China and Catherine Campbell a pathologist in Houston are part of the team who are investigating the crisis. The two have a history together in China making the story all the more intriguing. There was of course a major twist in the last chapter which changed the outcome at the end.
This was a great read for a major journey. It wasn't so good as the Lewis Trilogy. She awards 8/10.
