Picked from Round 4 of the "World of Crime" Bookbox, many thanks BookCrosser — fleurdeleys. How exciting, an early Harry Hole case, and a book I had been planning adding to my wishlist.
----------------------

Burble:
HARRY IS ON A SPECIAL MISSION.

Detective Harry Hole arrives in a steaming hot Bangkok. The Norwegian ambassador has been found dead in a seedy motel room, and Harry has been sent to investigate. It's clear that the Ambassador's family are hiding some secrets of their own, but few people are willing to talk.

HE NEEDS TO SOLVE A CRIME AND AVOID A SCANDAL.

When Harry lays hands on some incriminating CCTV footage, things only get more complicated. The man who gave him the tape goes missing, and Harry realises that failing to solve a murder case is by no means the only danger that faces the unwary.

BUT IN AN UNFAMILIAR CITY, WHO CAN YOU TRUST?

Journal Entry 4 by wingrainbow3wing at Edinburgh, Scotland United Kingdom on Sunday, February 5, 2023
Started and realised I'd read this before, and I must have read it before I read The Headhunters as I distinctly recall thinking The Headhunters had less squirelly, "Oh, no, really?!" thoughts attached to reading it. The description of the cockroaches, their average weight and the probability calculations of their unseen presence in relation to humans in a building was also familiar. For it brought to mind the first time I read that and remembered a meeting with a cockroach in a friend's kitchen in Australia.

Oops, not useful, commentary about the book, which I found way to bloody and re-reading it again bought that back too. High time this travelled again.
