This a nice little mystery. The conceit is the story is told through the eyes of a Thai detective attempting to solve the murder of a U S Marine and his policing partner.
There is a lot of cultural insight with the hero being Thai. This is ambitious of the author with him not being native although he has spent many years in the east.
The tale takes us through the bars and back alleys of Bangkok, through the sex trade and those involved.
At the end we meet a very nasty villain. This is well worth the effort, clever and well written.
