Publisher's Summary

Three corpses: drugged, labeled and brutally beheaded; a trail that Detective Li Yan has to follow. He and forensic pathologist Margaret Campbell have been trying to deny the attraction that nearly destroyed both their careers. But when a fourth victim is found, they have no choice but to work together to track down the truth and to hunt down a ruthless killer. 

The Fourth Sacrifice is the second in the acclaimed China series from Peter May, author of Runaway, Entry Island and the internationally best-selling Lewis Trilogy.

Enthralling Crime story

If you could sum up The Fourth Sacrifice in three words, what would they be?

Well Written Excellent

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Fourth Sacrifice?

The author has the art of getting you involved in the characters and I found I started getting caught up in the emotion of the story line.

What about Peter Forbes’s performance did you like?

His story telling is very good and of an extremely high performance and he is one of the reasons that I have enjoyed the first two books and because of both the author and story teller being so good I am about to purchase the next book in the series.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I use audio books for my walking exercises and invariably I start out on a 2 to 3 K walk but end up doing at least 4 to 5 due to the fact that I get caught up in the story and can’t stop.
