"Relishing
another Christopher G. Moore novel is
like receiving essential nutrients for
a healthier, safer life in Thailand.
Insights into the human condition …reveal
us to ourselves painfully clearly but
as balanced as a sweet and sour Thai
dish."

Pattaya
People, June 2004 review
Pattaya 24/7, the eighth novel
in the Vincent Calvino private eye series,
will be published by Heaven Lake Press
in June 2004. The setting is inside
a secluded, lush estate located on the
edge of Pattaya, where an eccentric
Englishman’s gardener is found hanged.
Calvino has been hired to investigate.
Calvino finds himself pulled deep in
the shadows of the war against drugs,
into an empire of a local warlord with
the trail leading to a terrorist who
has caused Code Orange alerts to flash
across the screen of American intelligence.
In a story packed with twists and turns,
Calvino traces the links from the gardener’s
past to the door of men with power and
influence who have everything to lose
if the mystery of the gardener’s death
is solved.

“...Moore's
noir thrillers and literary fiction--like
Graham Greene, he alternates between "entertainment"
and serious novels--are subtle and compelling
evocations of a part of the world rarely
seen through our eyes.”

has constructed what is becoming increasingly

carried out on Allied prisoners
of war and Chinese civilians.
