American travel writer Poke Rafferty was good at looking for trouble-so good that he made a little money writing a few offbeat travel guides for the young and terminally bored. But that was before Bangkok stole his heart. Now the expat American is happily playing family with his fiancée Rose, a former go-go dancer, and Miaow, the wary street child he adopts. Yet just when everything is beginning to work out, trouble comes looking for Poke in the guise of good intentions. Gradually he realizes that he's been gliding across the surface of a culture he really doesn't understand-and that what he doesn't know is about to hurt him and everyone he loves. Getting them all out alive will take every skill Poke has.
