BOOK DESCRIPTION
Jake is a loner who works nights in a Darwin motel and lives at the YMCA. He’s in love with Angel, a Thai prostitute who works out of the low-rent Shark Motel.
A vicious murder turns Jake’s life into a nightmare. He must fight for his life on the heat-soaked streets of Darwin and Bangkok in the wet season to get revenge, and to get his life back
This is a gritty slow burner that is written in the form of a classic,crime noir and builds in intensity as the story unfolds. It's a well written story that holds the reader's attention throughout as you follow Jake's quest for revenge and to find Angel's mother and daughter. I really enjoyed this story and would happily read more of this author's books in the future.
