Summary
Nobody knows Bangkok like Royal Thai Police Detective Sonchai Jitpleecheep, and there is no one quite like Sonchai: a police officer who has kept his Buddhist soul intact-more or less-despite the fact that his job shoves him face-to-face with some of the most vile and outrageous crimes and criminals in Bangkok. But for his newest assignment, everything he knows about his city-and himself-will be a mere starting point.
He’s put in charge of the highest-profile criminal case in Thailand…

Critics Review
Supremely atmospheric and deeply cynical, Burdett has created Pacific noir in a way that would make Raymond Chandler smile….Don’t miss them.
Supremely atmospheric and deeply cynical, Burdett has created Pacific noir in a way that would make Raymond Chandler smile….Don’t miss them. - Daily Mail
John Burdett’s Bangkok-based series featuring Royal Thai police detective Sonchai Jitpleecheep is one of the genre’s great pleasures, and his latest, Vulture Peak is well up to his usual high standard. - GuardianThe fifth in this gaudily sensual Bangkok series is not for the faint-hearted, as Thai beliefs spark against the shady morality of this global black market with ensuing fireworks. - The Financial TimesHallucinatory… . Not for the faint of heart … a classic head trip - The New York Times Book ReviewRedolent-in the most enjoyable way-of crime, violence, corruption and sex, not necessarily in that order. Vulture Peak upholds the high standards set by its predecessors - The Washington PostTime and again, John Burdett breaks the crime-thriller mold. And then reassembles it, piece by piece. His narrative becomes more than the sum of its parts… . Thoroughly enjoyable. - New York Journal of BooksA fascinating examination of the morality of treating the body as a commodity - The GuardianAbout The Author
