When Vincent Calvino's surveillance of a drug piracy ring results in video evidence, it looks like the fortunes of this expatriate detective are about to turn for the better, in this ninth book in the series. But when his client dies of a heart attack, and he finds the body of a murdered massage girl downstairs, the authorities become suspicious of this farang in the wrong place at the wrong time, twice. To make matters worse, with the dead man unlikely to pay, Calvino is forced to take on a job he doesn't want, trailing the spouses of three expat housewives who have been rattled by The Risk of Infidelity Index, a handbook that ranks Bangkok as the city where men are most likely to stray. Half Italian, half Jewish, Calvino left New York City as a disbarred lawyer to become a private investigator in Bangkok. Christopher Moore gives us gripping plots and fascinating characters in a hard-boiled style that brilliantly conveys the seamy underside of this exotic city and its more corrupt inhabitants.
