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
“Moore
consistently manages to entertain without having to resort to
melodramatics. The most compelling feature of his ongoing Calvino
saga, in my view, is the symbiotic relationship between the American
protagonist and his Thai friends, who have evolved with the series.
The friendships are sometimes strained along cultural stress lines,
but they endure, and the Thai characters' supporting roles are
very effective in helping keep the narratives interesting and
plausible.”

“Vinny
does it again!.”

Post
“Moore
is a master at leading the reader on to what 'should' be the finale,
but then you find it isn't... Worth waiting for... However, do
not start reading until you have a few hours to spare.”
—Lang Reid, Pattaya Mail

Calvino investigates the death of a friend, a Canadian painter. The medical examiner finds the young man has ingested an exit drug, and the police verdict of suicide seems justified. But in Bangkok appearances have a habit of deceiving. Sometimes jumpers are given a leg up in their leap to the next life. Fingering the helper can be a risky business, and for Calvino this promises to be one of those times. More>>
 The
Age of Dis-Consent
In
the follow up to The Cultural Detective, Faking
It in Bangkok, and Fear and Loathing in Bangkok,
Moore pays caring and critical homage to his residence of
choice by diagnosing some of Thailand’s discontents
and offering subtle remedies for readers to tease out.
The
essays range from political conflict to violence and criminal
investigations in the digital age, to cultural upheavals,
cognitive science and writing, including essays about Orwell,
Kafka, and Henry Miller. More>> |
