Sonchai has seen just about everything on his beat in Bangkok's crime-riddled District 8. But the video he's sent anonymously is something else. What he watches is a snuff film, and the person he sees die is Damrong, a woman he once loved and whom he still dreams about. And there's more: a twist at the end that turns the film into murder, and Sonchai into a man obsessed and - it becomes increasingly clear - literally haunted. His investigation forms a dizzying route from his own apartment - where he sleeps next to his pregnant wife while his fantasies deliver him up to Damrong; through the office of his corrupt and worldly wise boss, Captain Vikorn; to the backstreets of Phnom Penh where street gangs are only the most visible threats; to the gilded rooms of the most exclusive men's club in Bangkok, whose members will do anything to protect their identity, and to explore their own darkest fantasies. Caught in a multi-dimensional web of intrigue and deception, Sonchai confronts the terrifying consequences of a lesson he should have learned long ago. In Bangkok nothing is as it seems ...

Recensione:
"One of the most startline and provocative mysteries I've read in years. The characters are marvellously unique, the setting intoxicating, and the plot unwinds in dark illusory strands." (Carl Hiaasen For Bangkok 8)
"Cracking East meets West thriller introducing a half-Thai, half-American cop whose Buddhist beliefs are as important as his forensic skills. Terrific" (Observer for BANGKOK 8)
"Open Bangkok Tattoo and you will read on and on with wide-eyed fascination, some horror or disgust, and considerable delight" (Washington Post for BANGKOK TATTOO)
"Like no other novel that's come my way lately. Ironic, sexy and trailing an odour that reminds me of a Bangkok street after hours ... Expect to be enlightened" (Literary Review for BANGKOK TATTOO)
"Expertly juggling elements that in lesser hands would become confused or hackneyed, Burdett has created a haunting, powerful story that transcends genre." (Publishers Weekly (starred) for BANGKOK HAUNTS)

Descrizione libro Paperback. Condizione: Good. 'Sonchai Jitpleecheep - the devout Buddhist Royal Thai Police detective who led us through the best sellers Bangkok 8 and Bangkok Tattoo - returns in this new novel.' 'Sonchai has seen virtually everything on his beat in Bangkok's District 8, but nothing like the video he's just been sent anonymously: 'Few crimes make us fear for the evolution of our species. I am watching one right now.' He's watching a snuff film. And the person dying before his disbelieving eyes is Damrong - a woman he once loved obsessively and, now it becomes clear, endlessly. And there is something more: something at the end of the film that leaves Sonchai both figuratively and literally haunted.' 'While his investigation will lead him through the office of the ever-scheming police captain, Vikorn ('Don't spoil a great case with too much perfectionism,' he advises Sonchai); in and out of the influence of a perhaps psychotic wandering monk; and eventually into the gilded rooms of the most exclusive men's club in Bangkok (whose members will do anything to protect their identities, and to explore their most secret fantasies), it also leads him to his own simple bedroom where he sleeps next to his pregnant wife while his dreams deliver him up to Damrong.'--BOOK JACKET. 352 pages.
