Publisher Description
When Michael Decastro gets an email from Tuki, the lady of ten thousand mysteries, he doesn't hesitate a moment. He heads to Bangkok to find. . . what? He doesn't know. To face what dangers? He hasn't imagined. All he knows is that she's beckoned, and he can't resist her call.
And now, face-to-face with Tuki and a ruby so beautiful it has its own name, Michael must make a choice: move forward, protect Tuki and see that she's safe, or run back to his father's fishing boat, hiding from the ills of the world beneath a watchcap and a raincoat.
Foolhardy, compassionate Michael hardly has to think. . .
This is the follow-up to the LAMBDA-award nominated Provincetown Follies, Bangkok Blues.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this frenetic follow-up to Peffer's Provincetown Follies, Bangkok Blues (2006), New Bedford, Mass., lawyer Michael Decastro travels to Bangkok at the request of his exotic hermaphrodite friend, Tuki Aparecio. Tuki, who's under suspicion for the murder of a wealthy Thai man and the theft of an $11 million ruby from a Buddhist temple, is on the run not only from the police but also from nak-lin gangsters or mafia. Determined to return the ruby to the temple to remove the bad karma from the stolen gem, Tuki enlists Decastro's help and that of Marcus Aparecio, her African-American father. Against a backdrop of sexually confused tension, Decastro and Tuki try to sort out their feelings for one another. Covering a lot of territory, literally and figuratively, from the Vietnam War to Thailand's notorious Bangkwang prison and many gender-bending clubs around the world, Peffer offers an unusual and intriguing version of star-crossed lovers beset by evil enemies.
