Review
"A thinking man's Philip Marlowe, Calvino is a cynic on the surface but a romantic at heart..." -- The Daily Yomiuri
"Moore is teases out marginal characters, and bringing them to life with his consummate, compulsive story-telling." -- Project Eyeball (Singapore)
"Moore peels away the romance that surrounds the Land of Smiles and the so-called romantic East is unveiled." -- The Nation
Product Description
First novel in the celebrated Vincent Calvino Series with a new introduction by Christopher G. Moore. Calvino's investigation into Hoadly's death takes him from the red-light district of Patpong to the slums of Klong Toey. He works himself through the power structure of gangsters, godfathers and crooked police officials. The search for Ben Hoadly's murderer plunges Calvino into the dark side of the City of Angels, where professional hitmen have orders to stop him. From the world of thinner addicts, dope dealers, fortune tellers, and high-class call girls, Calvino peels away the mystery surrounding Hoadly's death. In the end, the motive is greed for a woman, for power, and money.
