"A blockbuster from an exciting new writer" The Big Chilli "Killing Time in Bangkok" is a fast-paced thriller that ticks most of the usual boxes - and adds a couple of new ones. Bolton is a protagonist with depths of character not always found in the genre. A seemingly innocuous assignment quickly hurls him into a maelstrom of murder and violence involving a cast of characters who are seldom what they seem: American Vietnam vets with mysterious connections to human trafficking, drug-dealing, property-development and possibly CIA; local Thai officials who seem a little too educated and Westernised; Muslim nationalist separatist groups in the region with links to known and unknown terrorist forces in Iran, Lebanon and Somalia. Throw in a Chinese government flexing its global muscles, and a conspiracy to rival the Twin Towers bombing and shake Americans out of their complacency, and you have a plot that will keep you guessing until the last page.
