When his surveillance of a Thai drug ring finally produces definitive video evidence, it looks as though Vincent Calvino's fortunes are about to turn. But then a client dies of a heart attack and Calvino finds the body of a murdered massage girl downstairs, and the authorities become suspicious of a foreigner in the wrong place at the wrong time. Featuring a brilliantly realized cast of characters, including a wealthy Thai celebrity protected by his political connections; a lawyer with a photographic memory; a Shakespeare-quoting police colonel; and Calvino's loyal assistant Rattana, and set in a vividly observed Bangkok, The Risk of Infidelity Index is a stunning page-turner from a major name in international crime fiction.
Christopher G. Moore is a Canadian citizen and formerly taught law at the University of British Columbia. He is the author of nine novels featuring Vincent Calvino, and the winner of the Deutscher Krimi Preis, Germany's most prestigious award for crime fiction. He has lived in Bangkok since 1988.
Both The Risk of Infidelity Index and Spirt House are published by Atlantic.
