Description
Opium of the Flesh
John Field was a cynical expatriate who dabbled in business, journalism, drink-and the sleazy import/export markets of the teeming city of Bangkok.
It is a world of cheap sex and easy drugs, casual murder and vicious intrigue: a world where disease, decay and death are as natural as life.
In such a setting, one more killing would not normally bother Field. But the gory death of his ex-lover and her husband drags him into an opium-drenched political nightmare from which there seems to be no escape…
The Paradise Eater
Is the exotic, high-tension novel of sex, drugs, political intrigue and brutal adventure that lays bare every screaming nerve of the Far East’s terrifying underworld.
