Early 2000s: A disbarred New York lawyer turned Bangkok private investigator Vincent Calvino takes on a case of murder
A beautiful American blond is found dead with a large bullet hole in her head. and police discover the body in the house of her ex-boyfriend.
A famous Hollywood screen-writer hires Calvino to investigate her death. Everyone except Calvino’s client believes Samantha McNeal has committed suicide.
“Private eye Vincent Calvino neither loved this part of SE Asia not could be bring himself to leave it except to renew his visa. He has made some forty runs.”
He says Thailand is like the wife you can’t live with and you would d live without either. He keep leaving only to return a few months later to tray again.
Apparently other farangs have to return every so often to review their visa and so as the novel opens the question in this city of expats is Why would you choose to live in Bangkok?
“Bangkok was a sprawl of thousands of half-empty, square, box-like whitish gray structures, high-rises belched out of bloated, chemically dulled egos as suspect as the money that lifted them upward to the sky of greed”
