About this product
Product Information
John Burdett's famed Royal Thai detective Sonchai Jitpleecheep is put to the test both as a Buddhist and as a cop as he confronts the most shocking crime of his career. A rich American film director has been murdered. It is an intriguing case, and solving it could lead to a promotion for Sonchai, but, as always, he is far more concerned with the state of his karma than he is with his status in the earthly realm. To complicate matters his boss, Colonel Vikorn, has decided to make Sonchai his consigliere in a heroin smuggling operation. Sonchai travels to Kathmandu to meet Vikorn's connection Tietsin, a Tibetan Buddhist monk, and falls under the sway of this dark and charismatic guru.

"Pick upThe Godfather of Kathmanduthe day it hits the stands, and block out several hours to read it in one sitting. Once you start, you won't get anything else done until you finish it . . . I pity any Mystery of the Month contender who has to go up against John Burdett; it is almost as if they should consider releasing their books in a different month . . . Burdett has both the chops and the history to be a strong contender every time he turns out a new book, andThe Godfather of Kathmanduis no exception." -Bookpage(Mystery of the Month) "Sonchai Jitlpleecheep has leapfrogged the field, vaulting from cult favorite to just possibly the most compelling crime-fiction hero in the genre. His fourth adventure, even more than its predecessors, is overstuffed with a dizzying array of multifaceted storylines, all of which exude both the moral ambiguity and the cognitive dissonance that have become this series's hallmarks . . . Burdett juggles the various plots with great dexterity . . . A whirlwind of a novel." -Booklist(starred) "A blissfully nutty caper that brings back fond memories of the late lamented Ross Thomas's crazy-quilt crime fiction . . . Distinguishing crooks from good guys is only one of the pleasures [here] . . . Sonchai's wry narrative voice (think: exotic Philip Marlowe) keeps us hooked." -Kirkus Reviews(starred), "Burdett's fever-dream mysteries recast the police procedural as psychedelic peep show."-- The New Yorker "John Burdett is writing the most exciting set of crime novels in the world."-- Portland Oregonian " Godfather is written with Burdett's characteristic zest, serving up pungent slices of Bangkok's bazaars and waterways."-- Boston Globe "[A] Thai tale of corruption, mayhem and intrigue."-- San Francisco Chronicle "It is the mordant wit of his exhaustively observant 'monk manqu ' hero that fuels this blissful and dexterous book."- Houston Chronicle "This is a novel brimming with observations and arguments, with absurdity and jokes . . .
