From an expat hotel manager to a respected drug baron, a sadistic triad boss to a Thai transvestite, this action-packed novel set in Thailand has them all. At about the same time a Filipino maid is murdered on the enclave of Macau, a cleaning lady at a small resort on the Thai island of Koh Samui discovers that the excitement of a night spent with a friendly transvestite has been too much for the heart of an elderly Chinese guest. A quick trip through Malaysia to Singapore by the resort manager follows, leading to more nighttime escapades. From there it’s to the bars of Bangkok, and a gristly murder in Lumpini Park. Follow the trials, tribulations and loves of an easygoing Australian resort manager’s Southeast Asian adventure. The novel is based loosely on many of the places and people met by the author as he roamed Southeast Asia whilst carrying out investigations as the region’s best-known ‘real life’ Private Eye.
