Bangkok Haunts
by John Burdett
author of Bangkok 8

NATIONAL BESTSELLER

Sonchai Jitpleecheep, the devout Buddhist Royal Thai Police detective, returns in this blistering novel. Sonchai has seen virtually everything on his beat in Bangkok's District 8, but nothing like the snuff film he's just been sent anonymously. Furiously fast-paced and laced through with an erotic ghost story that gives a new dark twist to the life of our hero, Bangkok Haunts more than lives up to the smart and darkly funny originality of its predecessors.
