Jimm Juree was a crime reporter for the Chiang Mai Daily Mail with a somewhat eccentric familyβa mother who might be drifting mentally; a grandfatherβa retired copβwho rarely talks; a younger brother obsessed with body-building, and a transgendered, former beauty pageant queen, former older brother. When Jimm is forced to follow her family to a rural village on the coast of Southern Thailand, sheβs convinced her careerβmaybe her lifeβis over. So when a van containing the skeletal remains of two hippies, one of them wearing a hat, is inexplicably unearthed in a local farmerβs field, Jimm is thrilled. Shortly thereafter an abbot at a local Buddhist temple is viciously murdered, with the templeβs monk and nun the only suspects.
Suddenly Jimmβs new life becomes somewhat more promisingβand a lot more deadly. And if Jimm is to make the most of this opportunity, and unravel the mysteries that underlie these inexplicable events, it will take luck, perseverance, and the help of her entire family.
