The Bangkok police already have a confession by a nineteen-year-old
drug addict who has admitted to the murder of a British
computer wizard, Ben Hoadly. From the bruises on his
face shown at the press conference, it is clear that
the young suspect had some help from the police in the
making of his confession. The case is wrapped up. Only
there are some loose ends that the police and just about
everyone else is happy to over look.
The
search for the killer of Ben Hoadley plunges Calvino
into the dark side of Bangkok, where professional hit
men have orders to stop him. From the world of thinner
addicts, dope dealers, fortunetellers, and high-class
call girls, Calvino peels away the mystery surrounding
the death of the English ex-public schoolboy who had
a lot of dubious friends.
