Detective Sonchai Jitpleecheep of the Royal Thai Police returns in his riveting and smokily atmospheric new thriller.A farang-a foreigner-has been murdered, his body horribly mutilated, at the Bangkok brothel co-owned by Sonchai's mother and his boss. The dead man was a CIA agent. To make matters worse, the apparent culprit is sweet-natured Chanya, the brothel's top earner and a woman whom the devoutly Buddhist sleuth has loved for several lifetimes. How can Sonchai solve this crime without sending Chanya to prison? How can he engage in a cover-up without endangering his karma? And how will he ever get to the bottom of a case whose interested parties include American spooks, Muslim fundamentalists, and gangsters from three countries? As addictive as opium, as hot as Sriracha chili sauce, and bursting with surprises, Bangkok Tattoo will leave its mark on you.

De terugkeer van de onnavolgbare rechercheur Sonchai Jitpleecheep In District 8 - de onderbuik van Bangkok - wordt een gruwelijk verminkte dode man gevonden. Pech: hij was van de CIA. Erger nog: de dader schijnt Chanya, een beeldschoon animeermeisje, te zijn. Zij werkt voor The Old Man's Club, die gezamenlijk wordt gerund door de moeder van Sonchai Jitpleecheep en zijn baas, kolonel Vikorn. Vikorn verzint een dekmantel die betrokkenheid suggereert van Al Qaida. Het komt goed uit dat de CIA sinds de aanslag van 11 september operaties uitvoert in Thailand. Maar de waarheid ligt gecompliceerder. Terwijl Sonchai een delicaat evenwicht tracht te vinden tussen zijn ambitie en zijn boeddhistische principes, zet hij de jacht in op een scala van drugsdealers, prostitu en corrupte politieagenten. Maar zelfs Sonchai is niet voorbereid op wat hij ontdekt aan het eind van zijn onderzoek... Scherp, intelligent en geestig, compact en sfeervol, en - zoals wij gewend zijn John Burdett - met veel plotwendingen, BANGKOK TATTOO is sensationeel! John Burdett werkte als advocaat voor een Britse firma in Hongkong, tot hij zijn ware roeping vond als schrijver. Hij is in Engeland geboren, woonde in Frankrijk en Spanje, en is nu terug in Hongkong. Burdett schreef meerdere bestsellers, waaronder het bejubelde Bangkok 8. 'De personages zijn onvergetelijk, de dialogen hebben een enorme vaart en een perfecte toon. Indrukwekkend.' Publishers Weekly 'Burdett weet de gebruikelijke clich te vermijden en cre de met Sonchai een onweerstaanbaar karakter.' Carp 'Erg moeilijk neer te leggen'.

Fiction, Bangkok, rich in history and spirituality, crowded with temples, markets and canals, is also a city shrouded in shadows. Polluted, corrupt, infamous as the *** capital of the world, it is a place where wealth, poverty and unimaginable evil walk hand in hand. In District 8, the underbelly of Bangkok's crime world, a dramatically mutilated body is found in a hotel bedroom. It looks bad: the corpse - who's been flayed - is CIA. And it gets worse when the self-confessed murderer is the beautiful Chanya - the best 'working girl' at The Old Man's Club, a brothel owned jointly by Sonchai's mother and his boss, Police Colonel Vikorn. Alerted by Sonchai, Vikorn quickly concocts a cover-up that involves an Al-Qaeda terrorist cell located in a southern Thai border-town where, since 9/11, the CIA has also had a covert presence. So far so good: but the truth will be harder to come by, and it will require Sonchai to find an ever more delicate balance between his ambition (western) and his Buddhism (eastern), while he runs the gamut of Bangkok's drug-dealers, prostitutes, bad cops, even worse military generals, and the pitfalls of his own melting heart. Crowded with astonishing characters, redolent with the authentic, hallucinogenic atmosphere of Bangkok, with needle-sharp observations about the clash of cultures when East meets West, this is a literary thriller like no other.
