In this #1 New York Times bestseller, Inspector Harry Hole heads to Thailand to investigate the murder of an ambassador.
Surrounded by round-the-clock traffic noise, Harry wanders the streets of Bangkok lined with go-go bars, temples, opium dens, and tourist traps, trying to piece together the story of the ambassador\'s death even though no one asked him to, and no one wants him to--not even Harry himself..
Or, put another way, for every cockroach you see in your hotel room, there are hundreds behind the walls.
There is something else, something more pervasive, scrabbling around behind the scenes.
But once he arrives Harry discovers that this case is about much more than one random murder.
When the Norwegian ambassador to Thailand is found dead in a Bangkok brothel, Inspector Harry Hole is dispatched from Oslo to help hush up the case.
