A Walk in the Thai Sun
What you need to know before your trail
Retired Vancouver Police officer Sam Watson is not a religious man so when his son Jeff heads out to do missionary service in Thailand, he’s more than upset. But he could not have foreseen what tragedy it would bring – for Jeff is murdered. The mission organization wants nothing to do with the investigation and the Thai Police seem unable or unwilling to solve the crime. Sam heads off to Thailand seeking his son’s killer but also grappling with loss, culture shock and, ultimately, the meaning of his son’s short life.
