The fifth all-action China thriller featuring Li Yan and Margaret Campbell.
A top Chinese swimmer kills himself on the eve of an international event - shattering his country's hopes of victory against the Americans. An Olympic weightlifter dies in the arms of his Beijing mistress - a scandal to be hushed up at the highest level. But the suicide was murder and both men's deaths are connected to a sinister series of killings which threatens to destroy the future of international athletics.
Beijing detective Li Yan finds himself in charge of what could be his last investigation for the Chinese police. Hampered by uncooperative officialis, dogged by a vindictive rival for his job, Li's only hope of a breakthrough is a champion runner, the sole member of the athletics team who seems willing to talk. But she will only talk to American pathologist Margaret Campbell - and now, the runner has disappeared.
As Li's enemies take their chance to destroy his career, and shadowy figures seem hell-bent on victory at any cost, finding the missing runner seems to be the only way to save his job, his relationship with Margaret and the lives of more young athletes.
