Recenzii
He is a terrific writer doing something different
From the first page I knew I was in safe hands. I knew I could trust this writer
Wonderfully compelling
A true pleasure to read
Peter May is a writer I'd follow to the ends of the earth
One of the best regarded crime series of recent years
Lyrical, empathetic and moving
May's novels are strong on place and the wounds left by old relationships
Will have the reader relishing every tendency of description and characterization
Dark, exciting and atmospheric
Powerful and authentic
A gripping page-turner that combines edge-of-the-seat suspense with a fascinating picture of modern China
The plot is chilling and ingenious
Peter May opens a window on a vision of the modern Chinese political climate ... a tremendous collision of cultures
Fast, exciting ... an entertaining read that will also give food for thought
The plot twists and turns like the tail of a Chinese dragon. A cracking good read ... Highly recommended
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
A tense and atmospheric thriller with a heart-stopping ending
Notă biografică
Peter May was born and raised in Scotland. He was an award-winning journalist at the age of twenty-one and a published novelist at twenty-six. When his first book was adapted as a major drama series for the BBC, he quit journalism and during the high-octane fifteen years that followed, became one of Scotland's most successful television dramatists. He created three prime-time drama series, presided over two of the highest-rated serials in his homeland as script editor and producer, and worked on more than 1,000 episodes of ratings-topping drama before deciding to leave television to return to his first love, writing novels.
In 2021, he was awarded the CWA Dagger in the Library Award. He also won several literature awards in France, received the USA's Barry Award for The Blackhouse, the first in his internationally bestselling Lewis Trilogy; and in 2014 was awarded the ITV Specsavers Crime Thriller Book Club Best Read of the Year award for Entry Island.
