The Wild Beasts of Wuhan: An Ava Lee Novel: 3 - Softcover

"Cutting edge crime novels." --BBC.com

"With its exotic settings (from Asia to America and places in between) and its equally exotic investigator, this book is miles from the ordinary. The main character, Ava Lee is the 'whole package.'" --Minneapolis Star Tribune

"An intelligent kick-ass heroine....Clearly conversant with the art world, Hamilton makes the intricacies of forgery as interesting as a Ponzi scheme." --Publishers Weekly (starred)

"You haven't seen cold and calculating until you've double-crossed this number cruncher. Another strong entry from Arthur Ellis Award-winner Hamilton." --Booklist

"One of my favorite new mystery series, perfect escapism." --Sarah Weinman, National Post

"Ava Lee is tough, fearless, quirky, and resourceful, and she has more--well, you know--than half a dozen male detectives I can think of." --Linwood Barclay, author of No Time for Goodbye

"Ian Hamilton really knows his stuff, offering intriguing insights into a secret world and a heroine as fascinating as she is fierce. A fantastic read, I can't wait for the next one." --Simon Lewis, author of Bad Traffic
