Synopsis:
New paperback edition. The latest fiendishly entertaining novel about the Thai Buddhist detective Sonchai, by the bestselling author of Bangkok Eight.

Nobody knows Bangkok like Royal Thai Police Detective Sonchai and there is no one quite like Sonchai: a police officer who has kept his Buddhist practice intact - more or less - despite the fact that his job shoves him face-to-face with some of the most vile and outrageous crimes and criminals in Bangkok. But for his newest assignment, everything he knows about his city - and himself - will be a mere starting point. He's put in charge of the highest profile criminal case in Thailand - an attempt to bring an end to trafficking in human organs. He sets in motion a massive sting operation and stays at its centre. He draws in a host of unwitting players that include an aging rock star wearing out his second liver and the mysterious, diabolical, albeit gorgeous co-queenpins of the international body parts trade: the Chinese twins known as the Vultures. And yet, it's closer to home that Sonchai will discover things getting really dicey...

"Burdett's fever-dream myteries, set in Bangkok, recast the police procedural as psychedelic peep show." New Yorker.

"Hallucinatory...not for the faint of heart...a classic head trip." New York Times.

"Crime, violence, corruption and sex, not necessarily in that order." Washington Post.
