Vincent Calvino-Bangkok's hard-boiled private investigator-is hired to find out why. What begins as a routine case of possible suicide soon unravels into something far darker: the gardener's past is entwined with a secret war being waged in Thailand's drug-infested underworld.As Calvino follows the trail from the high-walled compounds of the wealthy to the humid backstreets of Pattaya's nightlife, he enters a world ruled by a local warlord whose reach extends into police, politics, and paramilitary networks.
