El detective budista Sonchai Jitpleecheep ha avanzado un paso más en su carrera: ahora trabaja en el burdel que su madre, una prostituta retirada, y su jefe, el capitán vikorn, poseen en el distrito 8 de la ciudad de Bangkok. Allí, Vikorn le informa de que el agente Turner, de la CIA, ha sido asesinado brutalmente, desmembrado y destripado. La mayor sospechosa es una hermosa prostituta del burdel, Chanya, pero el asunto es mucho más complicado... I normally do not read mysteries or thrillers, but this book captivated me with its devoutly Buddhist narrator and the juxtaposition of sex, drugs, murder, and the underworld crime that spans two continents. A great book for anyone who wants to read an action adventure with an exotic, spiritual twist. Sonchai is drawn into more international intrique as a CIA agent is murdered and mutilated in what initially appears to be a new Muslim terror plot; however, the truth is a twisted tale of debauchery and desire, revolving around a beautiful Thai working girl. I find Burdett's constant use of the perjorative "farang" to refer to non-Thais disingenuous and annoying. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Detective Sonchai Jitpleecheep of the Royal Thai Police returns in his riveting and smokily atmospheric new thriller.A farang-a foreigner-has been murdered, his body horribly mutilated, at the Bangkok brothel co-owned by Sonchai's mother and his boss. The dead man was a CIA agent. To make matters worse, the apparent culprit is sweet-natured Chanya, the brothel's top earner and a woman whom the devoutly Buddhist sleuth has loved for several lifetimes. How can Sonchai solve this crime without sending Chanya to prison? How can he engage in a cover-up without endangering his karma? And how will he ever get to the bottom of a case whose interested parties include American spooks, Muslim fundamentalists, and gangsters from three countries? As addictive as opium, as hot as Sriracha chili sauce, and bursting with surprises, Bangkok Tattoo will leave its mark on you. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
