Bangkok Tattoo

Front Cover
Bantam, 2005 - Fiction - 335 pages
"Alerted by Sonchai, Vikorn quickly concocts a cover-up that involves Al Qaeda and Thailand's porous southern border, where, since 9/11, the CIA has been an obviously covert presence. But the truth will be harder to come by, and it will require Sonchai to find an ever-more-delicate balance between his ambition and his Buddhism, while running the gamut of Bangkok's drug dealers, prostitutes, bad cops, worse military, and the pitfalls of his own melting heart (Chanya!) - most of which he can handle. But even Sonchai is not prepared for what he discovers at the end of his investigation."--BOOK JACKET.
