John Burdett's famed Royal Thai detective Sonchai Jitpleecheep confronts the most shocking crime of his career and is put to the test both as a Buddhist and as a cop in this riveting tale.
Sonchai's boss, Colonel Vikorn, has decided to make him his consigliere in a heroin smuggling operation. Vikorn's connection is Tietsin, an exiled Tibetan lama based in Kathmandu who wants to use the profits from the deal to invade China. Sonchai travels to meet Tietsin, and, still reeling from personal tragedy, falls under his charismatic sway. To complicate matters, a rich American film director has been murdered, a shocking and intriguing case that could lead to a promotion. But, as always, Sonchai is far more concerned with the state of his Karma than he is with his status in the earthly realm.
