About this ebook
From the squalid heroin dens and live sex clubs of Bangkok to the steaming underbelly of Calcutta, The Crooked Beat takes you to places few tourists ever see. Like Trainspotting set in the jungle, this is a modern day On The Road for the chemical generation. Hang onto your passport because the trip is going to be wild.

I sang in punk bands for 20 years and now I write books. I prefer writing - it is a lot healthier. All my favourite writers are dead.
