About the Author
Christopher G. Moore is a Canadian author of 22 novels, a non-fiction,
one collection of interlocked short stories, and one book on Thai
language. Oxford-educated, Moore was a law professor at the University
of British Columbia for 10 years. His first book His Lordship's Arsenal was published in New York to a critical acclaim in 1985, when he decided to become a full-time writer.
Moore
moved to Thailand in 1988 and from Bangkok continued to write literary
and commercial fiction. He has attained somewhat of a cult status among
his readers in Asia and Europe and has an increasingly strong following
in North America. Moore is probably best known by his cult classics,
Land of Smiles Trilogy, his behind-the-smiles study of his adopted
country, Thailand, and his highly popular Vincent Calvino Private Eye
series.
From the Back Cover
In the early 1990s, at the end of the devastating civil war UN peacekeeping forces try to keep the lid on the violence. Gunfire can still be heard nightly in Phnom Penh, where Vietnamese prostitutes try to hook UN peacekeepers from the balcony of the Lido Bar.
Calvino traces leads on a missing farang from Bangkok to war-torn Cambodia, through the Russian market, hospitals, nightclubs, news briefings, and UNTAC Headquarters. Calvino's buddy, Colonel Pratt, knows something that Calvino does not: the missing man is connected with the jewels stolen from the Saudi royal family. Calvino quickly finds out that he is not the only one looking for the missing farang.
