Synopsis
A half-Thai, half-American policeman with a deeply spiritual outlook serves as a first-person guide to the Bangkok underworld in this unique noir thriller, a New York Times Notable Book for 2003. When a Thai detective and a US Embassy Marine suspected of jade and drug smuggling are murdered by snakebite, the detective's best friend and partner Sonchai Jitpleecheep, the son of an American GI and a Thai prostitute, teams up with an FBI agent to solve the case. The trail, which leads to a well-connected American jeweler and a mysterious, incredibly gorgeous woman, illuminates the unusual types of collusion between organized crime and Thai law enforcement.
