Detective Sonchai Jitpleecheep of the Royal Thai Police returns in his
riveting and smokily atmospheric new thriller.A farang-a foreigner-has
been murdered, his body horribly mutilated, at the Bangkok brothel
co-owned by Sonchai's mother and his boss. The dead man was a CIA agent.
To make matters worse, the apparent culprit is sweet-natured Chanya, the
brothel's top earner and a woman whom the devoutly Buddhist sleuth has
loved for several lifetimes. How can Sonchai solve this crime without
sending Chanya to prison? How can he engage in a cover-up without
endangering his karma? And how will he ever get to the bottom of a case
whose interested parties include American spooks, Muslim
fundamentalists, and gangsters from three countries? As addictive as
opium, as hot as Sriracha chili sauce, and bursting with surprises,
Bangkok Tattoo will leave its mark on you.
