contemporary murder set in Bangkok—a neighbor
and friend, a young ex-hooker turned artist, is found
dead by an American millionaire’s minor wife.
Her rich expat husband hires Calvino to investigate.
While searching
for the killer in exclusive clubs and not-so-exclusive
bars of Bangkok, Calvino discovers that a minor wife—mia
noi—has everything to do with a woman’s
status. From illegal cock fighting matches to elite
Bangkok golf clubs, Calvino finds himself caught in
the crossfire as he closes in on the murderer.
