{"product_id":"vulture-peak","title":"Vulture Peak","description":"\u003cp\u003eNobody 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe's put in charge of the highest-profile criminal case in Thailand-an attempt to bring an end to trafficking in human organs. He sets in motion a massive sting operation and stays at its center, traveling to Phuket, Hong Kong, Dubai, Shanghai, and Monte Carlo. He draws in a host of unwitting players that includes an aging rock star wearing out his second liver and the mysterious, diabolical, albeit gorgeous co-queenpins of the international body-parts trade: the Chinese twins known as the Vultures. And yet, it's closer to home that Sonchai will discover things getting really dicey: rumors will reach him suggesting that his ex-prostitute wife, Chanya, is having an affair. Will Sonchai be enlightened enough-forget Buddha, think jealous husband-to cope with his very own compromised and compromising world? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll will be revealed here, in John Burdett's most mordantly funny, propulsive, fiendishly entertaining novel yet.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePraise for John Burdett and his Bangkok novels:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Cracking East meets West thriller introducing a half-Thai, half-American cop whose Buddhist beliefs are as important as his forensic skills.
