The Timothy Hallinan Breathing Water Contest
For
American ex-pat writer Poke Rafferty, a
late-night poker game delivers an unexpected prize: an "opportunity" to
write the biography of Khun Pan, a flamboyant, vulgar, self-made
billionaire with a criminal past and far-reaching political ambitions.
The win seems like a stroke of luck, but as with so many things in
vibrant, seductive, contradictory Bangkok—a city of innocence
and
evil, power and poverty—the allure of appearances masks
something
much darker. Within a few hours of folding his cards, Rafferty, his
wife, Rose, beloved adopted daughter, Miaow, and best friend,
Arthit, an honest Bangkok cop, have become pawns in a political
struggle among some of Thailand's richest, most powerful, and most
ruthless people.
