Bangkok - the Year of the Monkey.
Vincent Calvino is spending the New Year on a call-out to Lumpini Park Lake, where the Thai cops have fished out the body of a farang cameraman. Calvino traces the American's murder to an elite unit of old Asia hands - a set of foreigners with bad reputations and powerful friends.

He is the author of nine novels starring Vincent Calvino, and the winner of the Deutscher Krimi Preis, Germany's most prestigious award for crime fiction. He has lived in Bangkok since 1988.
