Bangkok Tattoo by John Burdett

A Royal Thai Detective Novel

In a vibrant and gritty portrayal of Bangkok's underbelly, the story follows Sonchai Jitpleecheep, a half-Thai, half-American detective, as he navigates a complex web of crime, corruption, and cultural clashes. When a dismembered body is discovered in a brothel owned by his mother, Sonchai is thrust into a labyrinthine investigation that intertwines with the shadowy world of tattoo artistry and the sinister operations of the Yakuza. As he delves deeper, Sonchai must balance his Buddhist beliefs with the harsh realities of his environment, all while uncovering secrets that challenge his understanding of morality and justice.
