Publisher Description
When Bangkok's most dangerous private eye crosses into Burma's dark heart, survival is never guaranteed.
Vincent Calvino—ex-lawyer turned Bangkok PI—reluctantly takes a job from a desperate English brothel owner whose son, a young musician, has vanished in Rangoon with his captivating Burmese girlfriend. What begins as a simple missing-persons case drags Calvino into a city where foreign money flows like blood, jazz clubs mask lethal secrets, and one wrong move can mean disappearing forever.
Rangoon isn't Bangkok. Here, breakneck capitalism collides with brutal military intelligence, and old allegiances are as fragile as glass. When Calvino's longtime ally, Thai Police Colonel Pratt, undertakes his own covert mission to sever the methamphetamine pipeline flooding Thailand, both men find themselves ensnared in Burma's merciless Darwinian underworld.
From the ruins of Bangkok's Washington Square to the shadowed streets of a nation in transition, Christopher G. Moore delivers his most atmospheric Vincent Calvino thriller yet—where gangster capitalism meets political repression and trust is the deadliest luxury of all.
Missing in Rangoon is the thirteenth electrifying installment in the award-winning Vincent Calvino series—perfect for readers of authentic Southeast Asian noir.
