Who do you tell when you wake up to find a severed head on your resort-front beach in the morning? For frustrated ex-crime reporter Jimm Juree it means action. With her former cop grandfather as back up, she sets out to discover how the poor fellow ended up where he did - and why. On their journey, with the rest of their disjointed family in tow, they uncover gruesome tales of piracy and slavery, violence and murder in the Gulf of Thailand. Are the authorities uninterested because they're involved, or because the victims aren't Thai? Whatever the reason, Jimm and her team are going it alone and their lives are under threat. And who exactly are those two elegant women in cabin three and why has the engine number of their car been filed away? Airport hostages and hand grenades, monkeys and naked policemen - once more the sublime and the ridiculous clash at the Gulf Bay Lovely Resort and Restaurant.

Review:
'among the most distinctive and darkly engaging on the current crime fiction scene' Good Book Guide. (Good Book Guide)

'It's a great story, very much of the now. I laughed, I was close to tears and towards the end I couldn't turn the pages fast enough in my dash to find out what happened next' Bookbag. (Bookbag)

'laugh-out loud funny, but the humour did not obscure some very serious points' Evidence. (Evidence)

'More frenetic than the Alexander McCall Smith books, and with an off-the-centre sense of humour, this was an enjoyable book' EuroCrime. (EuroCrime)

'This is a must-read for anyone looking to escape to more exotic climes, anyone looking for smart, entertaining mysteries and, above all, anyone looking for a fast, fun, engaging read' Reader Dad. (Reader Dad)
