1 post | 6 read | 3 to read
A top Chinese swimmer kills himself on the eve of the Beijing Olympics. Days later, an Olympic weightlifter dies in the arms of his Beijing mistress. With the world's eyes on China, official explanations are provided in order to reassure the other competing athletes - but could it be that someone is engineering the deaths? Detective Li Yan finds that the only person willing to talk is a champion female runner. But she will only trust one person: the American pathologist, and Li's fiance, Dr Margaret Campbell. When the runner herself disappears, Li Yan's enemies are set to ruin both his career and his relationship. Li must chase the runner down - before the killers catch up with him.

The Runner | Peter May

The Runner is book 5 in Peter May‘s China Thrillers series. It‘s another fast-paced thriller that kept me turning the pages! Li Yan and Margaret Campbell are back in China, investigating the suspicious deaths of several top athletes. I enjoyed the mystery, but the resolution felt a little too neatly packaged. Despite that, if you‘re a fan of a good, suspenseful mystery, in an international setting, it‘s worth picking up. ⭐️⭐️⭐️💫/ 5 (3.5/5) ❤️📚
