Travel writer Poke Rafferty was good at looking for trouble - so good that he made a little money writing a few offbeat travel guides for the young and terminally bored. But that was before Bangkok stole his heart. Now the expat American is happily playing family with Rose, the former go-go dancer he wants to marry, and with Miaow, the wary street child he wants to adopt. Yet just when everything is beginning to work out, trouble comes looking for Poke in the guise of good intentions. First he takes in Miaow's friend, a troubled and terrifying street urchin named Superman. Then he agrees to find a distraught Aussie woman's missing uncle - and accept an old woman's generous payment to find a blackmailing thief. Suddenly he finds himself pulled into a dark side of Bangkok that he doesn't know or understand, but everything he has is suddenly under threat.

Review:
“(A) tale of blackmail, extortion and revenge...spinning along at a speedy clip.” (Washington Post)

“Excellent. The rich depictions of Bangkok’s seedy side recall John Burdett’s visceral mysteries.” (Publishers Weekly)

“Vibrant, deftly drawn characters...well-crafted...and ultimately entertaining.” (Kirkus Reviews)

“Excellent. This is a twisted story. You can read and read. And never imagine the end.” (Contra Costa Times)

“A haunting novel...It’s fast, bold, disturbing and beautifully written. Hallinan is terrific.” (T. Jefferson Parker)

“Exhilarating.” (Bookcrossing.com)

“Brilliantly conceived and beautifully rendered...Artful, compelling and entertaining. Kudos to Hallinan for an exceptional story.” (Perfecttext.com)

“A page-turner.” (Bookgasm.com)

“Rich with detail and sympathetic characters. From a very talented writer.” (The Brown Bookloft)

“Well constructed, lively...full of misdirection, surprises, humor. A well-paced thriller. (Popmatters.com)
