BANGKOK TATTOO

Paul Boehmer presents the sequel to last year's bestseller, BANGKOK 8. Royal Thai Police Detective Sonchai, his brothel-keeper mother, and his corrupt boss, Colonel Vikorn, assist and battle each other again--this time over a CIA agent who has been murdered. Colonel Vikorn fabricates a cover-up that points to Muslim terrorists. Then things get complicated. Boehmer reads the dramatic story vividly and clearly, never losing the listener in the twists, turns, and flashbacks of the nonlinear plot. He uses the right lilting cadence for the English-speaking Thais and excels in creating vocal personality for both male and female characters.
