The eighth installment in Timothy Hallinan's Edgar
Award–nominated ticking-clock thriller about the most
dangerous facets of Bangkok's seedy underbelly.
The two most difficult days in Bangkok writer Poke
Rafferty’s life begin with an emergency visit from Edward
Dell, the almost-boyfriend of Poke’s teenage daughter,
Miaow. The boy’s father, Buddy, a late-middle-aged womanizer
who has moved to Bangkok for happy hunting, has disappeared,
and money is being siphoned out of his bank and credit card
accounts.
It soon becomes apparent that Buddy is in the hands of a
pair of killers who prey on Bangkok’s “sexpats”; when his
accounts are empty, he’ll be found, like a dozen others
before him, floating facedown in a Bangkok canal with a
weighted cast on his unbroken leg. His money is almost gone.
Over forty-eight frantic hours, Poke does everything he can
to locate Buddy before it’s too late.
