Zusatztext "If you have not yet discovered the Poke Rafferty/Bangkok Thriller series! it's time to put on a wetsuit and start Breathing Water. A rich! multi-leveled! intelligent thriller series that will tickle you to laugh! challenge you to think! and buckle you in for an adventurous ride through Bangkok." Informationen zum Autor Timothy Hallinan is the author of nine widely praised books: eight novels—including the Bangkok thrillers featuring Poke Rafferty—and a work of nonfiction. Along with his wife, Munyin Choy, he divides his time equally between Los Angeles, California, and Southeast Asia. Klappentext A late-night poker game in Bangkok nets American ex-pat writer Poke Rafferty the "opportunity" to write the biography of Khun Pan, a flamboyant, vulgar, self-made billionaire with a criminal past and far-reaching political ambitions. Within hours, Rafferty, his wife, Rose, their adopted daughter, Miaow, and Poke's best friend, honest Bangkok cop Arthit, have become disposable pawns in a brutal power struggle among some of Thailand's richest, most ruthless citizens. There are those who would go to any length to ensure the book is never written and others equally desperate to have Pan's darkest secrets exposed. Suddenly Rafferty is sinking deeper in a perilous sea of treachery and intrigue--and caught up in the inhuman machinations of an Asian babyselling ring--as he searches frantically for the only chance he may have to get everyone he loves out alive.
