Bangkok Haunts

Detective Sonchai Jitpleecheep has seen just about everything on his beat in Bangkok's crime-riddled District 8. But the terrifying snuff movie he's been sent anonymously is something else: the person who dies is Damrong, the beautiful woman he once loved and whom he still dreams about.And there's more: slayings turn the ensuing investigation into a murder inquiry, and Sonchai into an obsessed and haunted man.Sonchai's inquiries follow a dizzying route from his own apartment, where he sleeps next to his pregnant wife while his fantasies deliver him up to Damrong; to the backstreets of Phnom Penh, where street gangs are only the most visible threats; to the gilded rooms of the most exclusive men's club in Bangkok, whose members will do anything to explore their darkest fantasies ...

Brilliantly atmospheric and pacy., An exciting and fascinating exploration of the underbelly of a totally alien culture., One of the most startling and provocative mysteries I've read in years., Cracking East meets West thriller introducing a half-Thai, half-American cop. Terrific, Open Bangkok Tattoo and you will read on and on with wide-eyed fascination, some horror or disgust, and considerable delight
