In rural Thailand, former crime reporter Jimm Juree must
grapple with her quirky family, a mysterious mother and
daughter on the lam and the small matter of a head on the
beach. When Jimm Juree’s mother sold the family house and
invested in a rundown 'holiday camp' at the southern end of
Thailand on the Gulf of Siam, the family had little choice
but to follow. Jimm Juree, who was well on her way to
achieving her goal of becoming the primary crime reporter
for the major daily newspaper in Chiang Mai, is less than
thrilled to have lost her job as a reporter and to be stuck
in the middle of nowhere where little of interest happens.
So it is with mixed feelings that she greets the news that a
head has washed up on the beach. It’s tragic, of course, but
this could be the sort of sensational murder that would get
her a byline in a major daily and keep her toehold on her
journalism career. Now all she has to do is find out who was
murdered, and why.
