A smart, hip, gripping literary thriller set in contemporary Phnom Penh and New York City, "Lightning on the Sun" mirrors the moral resonance and exotic setting of a Graham Greene classic. A plot to bring heroin into New York goes dangerously awry and puts the lives of three young Americans in mortal danger.
