I just finished reading Fools' River, Timothy Hallinan's lasted Poke Rafferty thriller. The series takes place in Bangkok, Thailand, and features Poke Rafferty, a travel writer who lives with his Thai wife and their adopted daughter, a former street waif, and who is constantly helping people out of dangerous situations. In the story, he is asked by the son of an American ex-pat to find his father, who is being held captive while his bank accounts and credit cards are being drained. There have been a dozen other victims, and all but two were found dead in a Bangkok canal. Another is brain dead. It is an excellent read, and gives a good look at life in Bangkok, much of it not very pretty. Buy a copy from your local bookstore today!
