Sonchai Jitpleecheep—“possibly the most compelling crime-fiction hero in the genre” (Booklist)—returns!
When Police Colonel Vikorn puts Sonchai in charge of the highest profile criminal case in Thailand— ending trafficking in human organs—Sonchai suspects his boss of ulterior motives. And, of course, he’s right: Vikorn is running for governor of Bangkok, and his American handlers insist that he needs a dramatic crime-fighting success right now. But just as Vikorn predicts, Sonchai’s “goody-two-shoes Buddhist conscience” takes over. The sting operation begins.
Sonchai travels to Phuket, Hong Kong, Dubai, Monte Carlo, and Shanghai, drawing in a host of players, including an aging rock star wearing out his second liver, and a pair of Chinese twins known as the Vultures—mysterious, diabolical, albeit gorgeous co-queenpins of the international body-parts trade. But closer to home, things are getting dicey for Sonchai: his ex-prostitute wife, Chanya, is craving a dose of “the street.” Is Sonchai enlightened enough—forget Buddhism, think jealousy—to let her into his own compromised and compromising world?
All will be revealed in John Burdett’s mordantly funny, fiendishly entertaining new novel.
