A disbarred lawyer eeking out a precarious living as a P.I. in the Thai capital of Bangkok, Vincent Calvino is about to close the books on a major drug piracy ring, until his client dies of a heart attack, he stumbles upon the body of a massage girl, and he is forced to take on the task of trailing errant spouses for three expatriate housewives.

Cr�ticas

"Shows that Christopher Moore is at the top of his form." "A worthy example of a serial character, Vlnny Calvino is human and convincing." "Moore has the sharpest eyes and most discerning mind on these shores, his being an expat notwithstanding. Indeed, a good many locals are unaware of the levels and degrees of subterfuge enmeshing them. To paraphrase Graham Greene, in another context, Moore is our man in Bangkok." "One of the most notable detectives of modern crime literature." "Festooned with memorable characters and a solid plot. Moore probes the country's dark side to new depths. . . . a tightly written narrative . . . a satisfying read." "Moore's work recalls the international 'entertainments' of Graham Greene or John le Carre, but the hard-bitten worldview and the cynical, bruised idealism of his battered hero are right out of Chandler. Intelligent and articulate, Moore offers a rich, passionate and original take on the private-eye game"
