This crime novel is a lurid tale of murder, following the trail of Detective Sonchai Jitpleecheep. The story reveals the the varied aspects of Bangkok, from the solemn Buddist world to the animated night life on Soi Cowboy, while weaving a strange tale, quite unlike any other mystery. While the investigation leads Sonchai into some of the less savory aspects of the city, the author skillfully paints a picture of the culture, food, and power of Bangkok. In some ways, this novel might be better understood once you have visited Thailand, though it does well to capture the city's vibrant and alluring nature. ~ M. Moore
