The ghost marriage

Chief Inspector Li Yan and American pathologist Margaret Campbell, heroes of Peter May's best-selling China Thrillers, return in a new story. A girl has disappeared in Peking, and the mystery is connected to a strange marital rite from China's past: the Minghun, or Ghost Marriage.

Winner of France's Prix Intramuros in 2007, Peter May once again takes his readers on a powerful, fascinating exploration of modern China.
