by Christopher G Moore

Spirit House (Vincent Calvino Novels) Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Synopsis:

In the nearly twenty years he has lived in Bangkok, Christopher G. Moore has written nine novels starring Vincent Calvino, a disbarred American lawyer working as a PI in the dark and steamy Thai capital. Internationally acclaimed, the prizewinning novels have been translated into ten languages. NowSpirit House, the first novel in the series, is finally available in North America.

A farang is dead and the Bangkok police have a confession the next morning from a young paint-thinner addict. He claims he killed Ben Hoadly, an expat Brit, but Calvino has his doubts when he sees heavy bruises on the kids face. In no time Calvino is working both sides, out to find the killer for Hoadlys wealthy father, and eager to clear the addicts name for a beautiful friend who runs a charity in the slums. With the help of his best friend, Pratt, a Shakespeare quoting Thai police colonel, and his loyal assistant, Ratana, Calvino plunges into the dangerous world of addicts, dealers, fortune tellers, inexpensive hit men, oversexed foreigners, and professional bar girls.Spirit Houseis a thrilling introduction to Vincent Calvino and Christopher G. Moores Bangkok.
