Summary

Under a Bangkok bridge, inside a bolted-shut Mercedes: a murder by snake--an African-American Marine sergeant killed by a methamphetamine-stoked python and a swarm of stoned cobras. Two cops--the only two in the city not on the take--arrive too late. Minutes later, only one is alive: Sonchai Jitpleecheep, devout Buddhist and son of a long-gone Vietnam War G.I. and a Thai bar girl whose subsequent international clientele contributed richly to Sonchai's sophistication. With his partner dead, Sonchai is doubly compelled to find the murderer as he moves through the moneyed underbelly of the city
