When Poke Rafferty wins, in a late-
night, alcohol-fueled poker game, the
right to write the biography of an
eccentric and mysterious Thai billionaire,
he has no idea what's in store. Within 24
hours, the lives of his family are threatened
if he writes the book, and two hours after
that, the lives of his family are threatened if he
doesn't write the book.
As Poke tries to pick his
way through the minefield, it becomes apparent
that he's a pawn in a battle between some of the
most powerful and unaccountable people in Thailand,
and that his only real allies are some of the Kingdom's least
powerful inhabitants -- beggars, runaways, and street
children. The central question seems to be, can the small
bring down the great? And Poke's life, as well as those of
Rose and Miaow, are riding on the answer.
