Content

A Killing Smile is a simple but deep story about the aftermath of events following the death of a successful Los Angeles attorney’s wife. Lost, confused, and angry, Lawrence Baring, Esq. goes to Bangkok and confronts Tuttle–the man his wife, Sarah, had once loved. The story follows the conflict and enveloping relationship of Baring and Tuttle in the underworld of Bangkok’s Patpong, Soi Cowboy, and the late night meeting spot called HQ where spies, gangsters, diplomats, pimps, businessmen, writers, teachers, travellers gather along side the women they buy for the night. The novel is filled with twists and turns and atmosphere and absolutely fascinating characters shipwrecked in a society they vaguely understand.
