Críticas:

Truly the best of May's series so far, this is not to be missed * The Good Book Guide * The characters here are vivid and contrasting, and they grow and develop in a way usually only found in literary novels, and the plotting and evocation of atmosphere as professional as they come. An excellent series * Kirkus Reviews * The plot twists and turns like the tail of a Chinese dragon. A cracking good read ... Highly recommended * Scots Magazine * Fast, exciting ... an entertaining read that will also give food for thought * Irish Times * Peter May opens a window on a vision of the modern Chinese political climate ... a tremendous collision of cultures * The Herald * The plot is chilling and ingenious * Scotland on Sunday * A gripping page-turner that combines edge-of-the-seat suspense with a fascinating picture of modern China * Irish Independent * Powerful and authentic * Glasgow Sunday Herald * Dark, exciting and atmospheric * Scotland on Sunday * Will have the reader relishing every tendency of description and characterization -- Barry Forshaw * Independent * May's novels are strong on place and the wounds left by old relationships * Sunday Times * Lyrical, empathetic and moving -- Alex Gray One of the best regarded crime series of recent years -- Boyd Tonkin, on the Lewis Trilogy * Independent * Peter May is a writer I'd follow to the ends of the earth * New York Times * A true pleasure to read * Guardian * Wonderfully compelling -- Kate Mosse From the first page I knew I was in safe hands. I knew I could trust this writer -- Sophie Hannah He is a terrific writer doing something different -- Mark Billingham A wonderfully complex book -- Peter James, on Entry Island
