Christopher G. Moore : A Killing Smile (Special Edition)


"One of Moore's greatest strengths... is his knowledge of Southeast Asian history." —Newsweek

A Killing Smile (Special Edition)
First in the Land of Smiles Trilogy

A Killing Smile Special Edition is a collector's item. It is not just another mass produced book. The paper had to be special-ordered. The leather had to be sourced. None of this is easy in Thailand. A large number of copies were rejected because there was some defect in the production. Everything had to be perfect, from the leather, to the binding, to the imported paper, and the slip cover.

There are only 275 numbered and signed copies of this unique edition of A Killing Smile.

Heaven Lake Press (1998), 225 pp.

"I was knocked out by the sensitivity of the writing, the textures of the characters, the many levels of feeling. The outcome is one of the finest male bonding stories I have ever come across and I kick myself that I didn't write this novel."

-- Stirling Silliphant
Oscar winner for In the Heat of the Night

"The whole effect is very real—particularly the revelation of those razor teeth back of the Smile.”

–Gore Vidal

"Moore is a master of detail...a pioneer, daring and inventive..."

-- The Nation

"Critically regarded as the best Western author today whose books focus on this country (e.g., A Killing Smile)..."

-- The Bangkok Post

"The portrait of Tuttle as an expatriate shipwrecked in an alien tropic brings to mind Theroux's Jack Flowers."

-- Japan Times
