BANGKOK NOIR $15.95 ....here! The first ever noir anthology of Bangkok, twelve seasoned and internationally known—Thai and Western—writers have come together to make a powerful collection of crime fiction short stories that portray the dark side of this Asian metropolis where the lives of most citizens seem as far away from heaven as its Thai name Krungthep is distant from its meaning—City of Angels. Signed
copies for $39.95 *Please note that we (publisher) will try our best to have as many authors' signatures as possible, if not all, on your Bangkok Noir signed edition.* “The
stories, about crooks, cops, gangsters, hit-men, bar girls, shaman and
street vendors, show the underbelly of Bangkok. It isn't pretty, but
as the first of its kind, Bangkok Noir is a good read.” “Bangkok Noir, with its twelve short stories, makes up a brief but exciting read. The anthology is part of a more and more distinct Bangkok noir movement that brings to the surface the darker sides of this city, exposing all its ugliness, hardships, and injustices that the powers-to-be would like kept at bay, right where they are: in the dark.” —Review by Voicu Mihnea Simandan Review: The Nation: Thrill of the shady side new 9
Gold Bullets A priceless collection of 9 gold bullet coins issued during the Reign of Rama V has gone missing along with a Thai coin collector. Local police find a link between the missing Thai coins and Calvino's childhood friend, Josh Stein, who happens to be in Bangkok on an errand for his new Russian client. This old friend and his personal and business entanglements with the Russian underworld take Calvino back to New York, along with Pratt. The gritty, dark vision of 9 Gold Bullets is tracked through the eyes of a Thai cop operating on a foreign turf, and a private eye expatriated long enough to find himself a stranger in his hometown. As the intrigue behind the missing coins moves between New York andBangkok, and the levels of deception increase, Calvino discovers the true nature of friendship and where he belongs. Praise for the Vincent Calvino series: “Moore's
understanding of the dynamics of Thai society has always impressed, but
considering current events, the timing of his latest [The Corruptionist]
is absolutely amazing.” “Politics
. . . has a role in the series, more so now than earlier. What with corruption
during elections and coups afterwards, the denizens watch with bemusement
the unlikelihood of those in office serving their terms. Moore captures
this in his books. Thought-provoking columnists don't do it better. .
. . Moore is putting Thailand on the map.” |
