Synopsis

Chris Hutchison is a man on the run.

Imprisoned for a crime he didn't commit, Hutch escapes from a British maximum-security prison and starts a new life in Hong Kong. But a ghost from his past catches up with him and gives him a choice: help a former terrorist break out of a Bangkok prison - or face life behind bars once more.

Meanwhile, the DEA wants to nail the vicious drug warlord responsible for flooding the States with cheap heroin. And decides to use Hutch as a pawn in a deadly game.

Hutch's bid for freedom takes him into the lawless killing fields of the Golden Triangle, where the scene is set for one final act of betrayal . . .

From AudioFile:

Paul Thornley rises to the challenge of presenting a complex plot with an extensive cast of characters. As the story unfolds and the plotlines are skillfully drawn together, Thornley's narration presents characters as diverse as drug warlords, Thai gangsters, and IRA terrorists. In particular, Thornley plays the dry humor of the main character, prison escapee Chris Hutchinson, to the hilt, making him a likable antihero. Thornley's rich performance ensures that the detailed descriptions of the horrors of a Bangkok prison, drug addiction, and other aspects of the underworld paint a vivid backdrop for this thriller.
