Sonchai Jitpleecheep—the devout Buddhist Royal Thai Police
detective who led us through the best sellers Bangkok
8 and Bangkok Tattoo—returns in this blistering
new novel.
Sonchai has seen virtually everything on
his beat in Bangkok’s District 8, but nothing like the video
he’s just been sent anonymously: “Few crimes make us fear
for the evolution of our species. I am watching one right
now.”
He’s watching a snuff film. And the person
dying before his disbelieving eyes is Damrong—a woman he
once loved obsessively and, now it becomes clear, endlessly.
And there is something more: something at the end of the
film that leaves Sonchai both figuratively and literally
haunted.
While his investigation will lead him
through the office of the ever-scheming police captain,
Vikorn (“Don’t spoil a great case with too much
perfectionism,” he advises Sonchai); in and out of the
influence of a perhaps psychotic wandering monk; and
eventually into the gilded rooms of the most exclusive men’s
club in Bangkok (whose members will do anything to protect
their identities, and to explore their most secret
fantasies), it also leads him to his own simple bedroom
where he sleeps next to his pregnant wife while his dreams
deliver him up to Damrong . . .
Ferociously smart and
funny, furiously fast-paced, and laced through with an
erotic ghost story that gives a new dark twist to the life
of our hero, Bangkok Haunts does exactly that from
first page to last.
