A Chinese Puzzle by
(ContentDesk) August 18, 2005 -- How did a guy in a skirt get the Chinese police to open their doors for him? That's the question you can ask Scottish author Peter May in person at any one of 20 cities in 13 states in September 2005 when he tours the U.S.A. to promote the publication of his China-based thriller The Firemaker.The 6ft 2in writer, who sports a long pony tail and wears his national dress of the kilt, managed to gain unprecedented access behind the scenes with Chinese homicide detectives, in order to research his books. He has been to places that few outsiders ever see, getting to know pathologists and scientists at the police mortuary and forensic science departments in Shanghai and Beijing. Now some of Peter May's biggest fans are Chinese police - he even writes a monthly column in their magazine "Detective World" which recently translated and serialized The Firemaker. The Firemaker is a fast-paced mystery which takes readers on an adventure through the backstreets of Beijing with local homicide detective Li Yan and Margaret Campbell, a forensic pathologist from Chicago. May is meticulous about his research and his advisors include Dr Richard Ward, Dean of Criminal Justice at Sam Houston State University in Texas who has trained the top 500 police officers in China, and Dr Steve Campman, Medical Officer for San Diego California, who has worked on high profile FBI cases at the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology. May's research has led him into some scary and difficult situations, but his sense of humor always remains intact. An expert on Chinese dining etiquette, he can answer FAQs like:- How many deep-fried scorpions do you have to eat so you don't insult the official host?- What's the best way to eat a Shanghai hairy crab?- How do you cover it when the live shrimps on your plate splash soy sauce over your shirt?- What do you do when a group of Shanghai cops challenges you to a drinking contest?May will be talking about his experiences in China and signing copies of The Firemaker at bookstores all over the countryPeter May is available for interview before or during his tour for Members of the Press.For more information or to arrange a personal interview with Peter May, contact: Janice Hallytelephone (USA): (678) 367-0510 (U.S. voice)telephone (Europe): (+33) 565 38 64 70A full Press Pack can be E-mailed to you as a PDF or you can access it direct by clicking below:http://perso.wanadoo.fr/peter.may/PressPack.pdfor download it from the websitehttp://www.petermay.info (for members of the media)REVIEWS OF PETER MAY'S CHINA THRILLERS RECEIVED SO FAR..."The Firemaker is stunningly original, highly topical and extremely well-written...
