"Bangkok is celebrating Chinese New Year when disbarred lawyer turned PI Vincent Calvino's revels are cut short. The body of an American, an acquaintance of Calvino, has been fished out of the lake in Lumpini Park. Around his neck are a string of wooden amulets, the kind upcountry Thais wears to protect themselves from evil spirits. Only rather than saving Jerry Hutton, these have killed him. A struggling freelance camerman, Hutton had recorded something shortly before his death that he thought would make his career. Now the footage - of a shocking war crime - is running repeatedly on CNN and the rights to Hutton's life story have been sold to a Hollywood producer. But who killed Hutton, and why?"--Back cover.
