De Chinese detective Li Yan en de Amerikaanse patholoog Margaret Campbell zijn terug in Beijing en stuiten op een sinistere reeks ‘ongelukken’ die de toekomst van internationale atleten kan vernietigen. Aan de vooravond van een zwem- en atletiektoernooi tussen Amerika en China pleegt een Chinese topzwemmer zelfmoord en slaat daarmee de hoop op een Chinese overwinning aan diggelen. Als het moord blijkt te zijn, lijkt er een verband te bestaan met een reeks ‘ongelukken’ die al aan een aantal Chinese topatleten het leven heeft gekost. Li wordt bij het onderzoek gehinderd door een rancuneuze rivaal die op zijn baan aast. Zijn hoop is gevestigd op een kampioene hardlopen, het enige lid van het Chinese atletiekteam dat bereid is om te praten. Tot overmaat van ramp lijkt zij van de aardbodem verdwenen. De vermiste hardloopster is echter Li’s enige kans om zijn rivaal de pas af te snijden en zijn carrière, zijn relatie met Margaret en de levens van vele jonge atleten te redden.

Li Yan is een detective in de moderne en opwindende metropool Beijing. Hij heeft twee gewelddadige decennia overleefd door hard aan zijn carrière te werken, iets wat hem uiteindelijk het respect van de Chinese samenleving verschaft dat zijn familie in de Culturele Revolutie verloren had. Margaret Campbell is een forensisch pathologe uit Chicago, die zich door een mislukte relatie geheel en al op haar werk stort. Als Li geconfronteerd wordt met een afschuwelijk verbrand lijk, wordt hij tot zijn afgrijzen door zijn superieuren gedwongen de hulp van Margaret aan te nemen. Hoewel de samenwerking te wensen over laat, vordert het onderzoek gestaag. Maar geen van beiden is bedacht op de uiteindelijke consequenties. Hun vragen leiden tot het openen van een ware doos van Pandora en confronteren de speurders met een angstaanjagende waarheid.

Londen is het epicentrum van een wereldwijde pandemie en de stad is volledig in lockdown. Geweld en onrust liggen overal op de loer en niemand is veilig voor het dodelijke virus dat al duizenden slachtoffers heeft geëist. Ziekenhuizen zijn overvol, hulpdiensten machteloos. Rechercheur Jack MacNeil heeft ontslag genomen bij de politie, ligt in scheiding en maakt zich zorgen om zijn zoon, die het virus opgelopen lijkt te hebben. Op zijn laatste dag wordt hij er toch nog op uitgestuurd om de moord op een kind op te lossen, nadat er een zak botten op een bouwplaats voor een noodziekenhuis is gevonden. De meedogenloze dader doet er alles aan om MacNeil tegen te werken en in een uitgestorven Londen begint een race tegen de klok. Door wie wordt MacNeil het eerst tegengehouden: de moordenaar, of het virus?

An unidentified corpse is recovered from a Lewis peat bog; the only clue to its identity being a DNA sibling match to a local farmer.

Fourteen years later, during a summer heat wave, a drought exposed her remains - bleached bones amid the scorched mud and slime. No one was ever convicted of her murder. But now, forensic expert Enzo Macleod is reviewing this stone cold case - the toughest of those he has been challenged to solve. Yet when Enzo finds a flaw in the original evidence surrounding Lucie's murder, he opens a Pandora's box that not only raises old ghosts but endangers his entire family.

Detective Li Yan - an even more unwelcome memory for Campbell - has arrived stateside to investigate a link in the case to a lucrative trade in illegal labourers. Li and Campbell will soon find that the crime scene hides another secret: a biological time bomb linking traffickers, politicians and migrants in Beijing, Washington and Texas - posing multiple countries one, very singular, thread.

The Chinese police have once more been forced to enlist the services of American forensic pathologist Margaret Campbell, this time to investigate a series of four horrific ritual executions in Beijing. Detective Li Yan is determined to discover just how one of the victims in particular, an American diplomat, became caught up in the slaying.

The personal polarity that once attracted Yan and Campbell again strengthens their professional partnership. Yet the closer they draw to the truth, the greater the danger posed by a killer prepared to do anything to conceal it.

Secure the success of your family business – by means of a proper owner strategy. The owners are an important aspect of the organizational structure of any family business. Family businesses have to deal with questions of ownership as professionally as they deal with the corporate strategy. This is the only way to guarantee the future of the company. The owner strategy is the key. Peter May is one of the leading experts on family businesses and a pioneer in the field of strategic consulting for family business owners. He has already described the theoretical foundation of owner strategies in his fundamental book, „Erfolgsmodell Famillienunternehmen“ (“The Successful Family Business Model”). The book at hand, however, goes one significant step further: It contains the first complete and coherent description of how to develop an owner strategy. It is therefore the first focused and fully functional guide that owner families and family businesses can use to tailor a custom owner strategy and hence take the vital step from theory to practice.
