Synopsis

Jack Shepherd is the kind of lawyer some people call a troubleshooter. He finds the trouble and then he shoots it.

If his life were only that simple.

Shepherd is tiptoeing around Hong Kong's financial back alleys looking for a billion dollars or so that went missing in Malaysia when an old friend from Bangkok turns up and dumps a much bigger problem in his lap. A military coup has swept over Thailand. The Thai army is holding Thailand's first female prime minister under house arrest and her life is in danger.

There was a time when Shepherd loved Thailand, then things went sour and he's sworn never to go back. But the prime minister is a woman with whom Shepherd once had a relationship of a sort, and Shepherd is loyal to his friends. He's also a sucker for a woman who is smart and beautiful, but of course that has nothing at all to do with it.

Whatever the reason, Shepherd can feel it happening. Thailand is reeling him right back in no matter how hard he struggles to stay away.

Okay, he decides, how hard can it be? Track down the missing money in Malaysian, then sneak into Thailand, grab his old friend right out from under the noses of the entire Thai army, and keep her alive long enough to get them both out of Thailand.

A piece of cake for the old troubleshooter, huh?
