An expat detective in Bangkok discovers the dark truths beneath the surface of his chosen home in this "e;fast, bold, and beautifully written"e; thriller (T. Jefferson Parker).Travel writer Poke Rafferty was good at looking for trouble-so good that he made a little money writing a few offbeat travel guides for the young and terminally bored. But that was before Bangkok stole his heart. Now the expat American is happily playing family with Rose, the former go-go dancer he wants to marry, and with Miaow, the wary street child he wants to adopt. But settling down won't be as easy as it seems . . .First, Poke takes in Miaow's friend, a troubled and terrifying street urchin named Superman. Then he agrees to help an Aussie woman find her missing uncle-and accepts an old woman's generous payment to find a blackmailing thief. Soon, these three seemingly disparate events begin to overlap, pulling Poke into dark, unfamiliar terrain. Poke soon comes to realize that he's been gliding across the surface of a culture he really doesn't understand-and that what he doesn't know is about to hurt him and everyone he loves.
