Thai detective navigates crime in spiritual Bangkok.
If you’re drawn to gritty crime dramas steeped in vibrant, if sometimes dark, cultural tapestries, "Bangkok Tattoo" might just cling to you like the city's humid air. John Burdett crafts an atmospheric world where Sonchai Jitpleecheep, with his foot in both the West’s ambition and Eastern spirituality, takes you through Bangkok’s seedy underbelly with a dose of dry wit and a captivating moral compass. This thriller isn’t just about solving a crime; it’s an exploration of contrasts that are as complex as Thailand itself.
Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
