On the tropical island of Koh Samui, a bar girl has gone missing. The granddaughter of a high ranking General with connections to the upper echelons of the Thai army government has also gone missing and Police Lieutenant Chai Son Sinuan of the Royal Thailand Police, an incorruptible policeman in a police force that is deeply rooted in corruption is assigned the case. As Son starts his investigation the bar girl’s mutilated body is found and then two more bar girls go missing. To make matters worse a German resident of Koh Samui, who is the younger brother of a government minister in the Christian Democratic Union party in the German Bundestag went for his usual afternoon bike ride two days before and he has not been seen since. As Son learns more about the missing German and the general’s granddaughter, he is convinced that the investigations are connected. The clock is ticking and Son is in a race against time to solve the crimes before the killer strikes again. The story takes the reader to the hard-core red light districts of Koh Samui, where girls from poor villages in rural areas of Thailand come to work in the lady bars to try to support their families by selling themselves to the “farang” who come from all corners of the world to take full advantage of the girl’s troubled lives.
