Snakehead

fullDescription

Beijing detective Li Yan, now based at the Chinese embassy in Washington, is dispatched to find out how his fellow countrymen died in a sealed refrigeration unit in southern Texas. Then he finds himself face-to-face with American pathologist Margaret Campbell, the woman who walked out of China, and his life, to return to the U.S.

Tasked to work together again to investigate the $100 million trade in illegal Chinese immigrants that led to the tragedy in Texas, they discover that the immigrants were unwitting carriers of a deadly cargo. And still wrestling with the demons of their pasts, Li and Margaret find themselves racing against time to defuse a biological time-bomb that threatens to wipe out not only their future, but that of humankind.

   • content: '[F]ast, exciting....[A] highly topical and entertaining read that will also give food for thought.'
2. • premium: True
   • source:
   • content: Snakehead is a term for people who smuggle illegal Chinese immigrants all over the world. Medical Examiner Margaret Campbell is called in because one group of human cargo is contaminated with an unknown virus that could cause a pandemic. Simon Vance's narration is considered but not labored, and his natural delivery sounds as if he's relating his own experiences. Margaret's former lover and Beijing detective Li Yan also becomes involved in preventing the unleashing of the virus. Accents are clearly and professionally presented by Vance as the suspense and tension build, and the surprising identity of who is behind the virus is discovered. S.C.A.
