"Few crimes make us fear for the evolution of our species. I am watching one right now."
John Burdett’s third mystery novel set in Krung Thep (Bangkok) again features the half-Thai, half-American Buddhist detective Sonchai Jitpleecheep, who unravels a murder and struggles to stay true to himself. Burdett spins his tale against a grimly fascinating backdrop of sex, drugs, violence and powerful rich men in Thailand’s capital city.
