Synopsis

"Lovingly rendered...the perfect setting for this rough and rollicking story of adventure and romance."―Publishers Weekly STARRED review
For Mark Rohr, a decorated Desert Storm vet, the last ten years have been filled with countless misadventures and shady jobs, like his current stint as a bouncer at a nameless whorehouse bar in Thailand. When the beautiful and naïve Robin Antonucci arrives from the States and hires him to help find her brother Shawn, missing since the tsunami, Mark sees the chance to make some easy money: guide her around until she gets bored or until the money runs out and she heads home.
But the job sours when they meet the stunning Thai prostitute Pim, who claims to be Shawn's wife. Within hours, two men are dead and Jarin, southern Thailand's most notorious gangster, wants Mark to pay. Getting away with Robin and Pim, plus an old man and a small boy―the only members of Pim's family to survive the tsunami―might prove impossible. With nowhere to hide and no idea where they are heading, the group sets off around the Thai coast, racing through beach resorts and remote villages, just one step ahead of Jarin's men....

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

When he’s not traveling the globe in the search of exotic, tax-deductible settings for his mysteries, Charles Benoit, a former high school teacher, likes to spend his time scuba diving and attempting to play the saxophone. Charles’ Franklin Award-winning debut, Relative Danger, was nominated for an Edgar™ and a Barry™. The Denver Post called Out of Order (2006) “the kind of book Alfred Hitchcock would have filmed.”  His third mystery, Noble Lies, is a post-Tsunami missing person adventure (2008) and is the darling of fans and critics alike, pulling in yet another stared review from Publishers Weekly.
