"A tour de force. . . . Burdett is purely and simply a wonderful writer." -The Washington Post "A stiletto-sharp mystery/thriller . . . brilliantly rendered." -The Seattle Times-Post Intelligencer "Like Thai cuisine, Burdett's comic thriller blends spicy, sour, salty and sweet-and makes for a delicious wake-up for jaded palates." -People "Vividly written and even more vividly imagined. . . . This novel is as wild as the city in which it takes place. . . . Read it to blow your mind." -Milwaukee Journal Sentinel "A thriller as exotic as it is enthralling, and as provocative as it is obscene." Harper's "One of the year's most seductive thrillers. . . .

Synopsis
A thriller with attitude to spare, Bangkok 8 is a sexy, razor-edged, often darkly hilarious novel set in one of the world's most exotic cities. Witnessed by a throng of gaping spectators, a charismatic Marine sergeant is murdered under a Bangkok bridge inside a bolted-shut Mercedes Benz. Among the witnesses are the only two cops in the city not on the take, but within moments one is murdered and his partner, Sonchai Jitpleecheep--a devout Buddhist and the son of a Thai bar girl and a long-gone Vietnam War G.I.--is hell-bent on wreaking revenge. On a vigilante mission to capture his partner's murderer, Sonchai is begrudgingly paired with a beautiful FBI agent named Jones and captures her heart in the process. In a city fueled by illicit drugs and infinite corruption, prostitution and priceless art, Sonchai's quest for vengeance takes him into a world much more sinister than he could have ever imagined.
