    About this ebook

    Five foreigners have died in Bangkok. Were they drug overdose victims or victims of a serial killer? Calvino believes the evidence points to a serial killer who stalks tourists in Bangkok. The Thai police, including Colonel Pratt, don’t buy his theory.

    Calvino teams up with an LAPD officer on a bodyguard assignment. Hidden forces pull them through swank shopping malls, rundown hotels, Klong Toey slum, and bars in the redlight district as they try to keep their man and themselves alive. As Calvino learns more about the bodies being shipped back to America, the secret of the serial killer is revealed.

    “The story is plausible and riveting to the end.”
    —The Japan Times

    “Tight, intricate plotting, wickedly astute . . . Cold Hit will have you variously gasping, chuckling, nodding, tut-tutting, oh-yesing, and grinding your teeth throughout its 330 pages.”
    —Guide of Bangkok

    “The plot is equally tricky, brilliantly devised, and clear. One of the best crime fiction in the first half of the year.”
    —Ultimo Biedlefeld

    “[Cold Hit] is no standard thriller, but a suspense literature full of original metaphors.”
    —Saarbrücker Zeitung
