Items related to The Godfather of Kathmandu
Thai police detective Sonchai Jitpleecheep is summoned to investigate the most shocking murder of his career. Solving it could mean a promotion, but Sonchai, still reeling from a personal tragedy, is more interested in Tietsin, an exiled Tibetan lama living in Kathmandu.
There are however obstacles in Sonchai’s path to enlightenment. Police Colonel Vikorn and Army General Zinna are at war again for control over Bangkok’s network of illegal enterprises. And although Tietsin is eerily charismatic , he also has 40 million dollars of heroin for sale.
If Sonchai wants to be one of Tietsin’s true initiates, he has to pull off a deal that will bring Vikorn and Zinna to the same side of the table.
With his life in increasing danger, and his soul in thrall to a woman with sorceress-like powers, Sonchai is put to the extreme test in John Burdett’s most inventive, darkly comic and wickedly entertaining novel yet.

Review:
"Burdett's fever-dream mysteries recast the police procedural as psychedelic peep show."--"The New Yorker" "John Burdett is writing the most exciting set of crime novels in the world."--"The Oregonian" ""Godfather "is written with Burdett's characteristic zest, serving up pungent slices of Bangkok's bazaars and waterways."--"The Boston Globe" "A Thai tale of corruption, mayhem and intrigue."--"San Francisco Chronicle" "It is the mordant wit of his exhaustively observant 'monk manque' hero that fuels this blissful and dexterous book."--"Houston Chronicle"" ""This is a novel brimming with observations and arguments, with absurdity and jokes . . . Witty, learned, and wild."--"The Washington Post Book World" "The spiciest yet of Burdett's exotic dishes."--"The Times "(London) "Burdett's latest mystery is delightfully ambiguous, like life itself."--"St. Louis Post-Dispatch" "Block out several hours to read it in one sitting.p
