When his surveillance of a Thai drug ring finally produces definitive video evidence, it looks as though Vincent Calvino's fortunes are about to turn. But then a client dies of a heart attack and Calvino finds the body of a murdered massage girl downstairs, and the authorities become suspicious of a foreigner in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Featuring a brilliantly realized cast of characters, including a wealthy Thai celebrity protected by his political connections; a lawyer with a photographic memory; a Shakespeare-quoting police colonel; and Calvino's loyal assistant Rattana, and set in a vividly observed Bangkok, The Risk of Infidelity Index is a stunning page-turner from a major name in international crime fiction.

Review:

'Calvino is an engaging Bangkok P.I. who thinks he is about to smash a major Thai drug piracy ring when things start going pearshaped. [Spirit House] is a great introduction to the seamy side of Bangkok.' -- Daily Mail

'Plenty of violent action and some memorable low-life characters, but the real star of the book is Bangkok, which Moore, a long-term resident of the city, brings to vibrant, sleazy life.'
-- Daily Telegraph

Moore's flashy style successfully captures the dizzying contradictions of [Bangkok's] vertiginous landscape. -- New York Times Book Review

Plenty of violent action and some memorable low-life characters, but the real star of the book is Bangkok, which Moore, a long-term resident of the city, brings to vibrant, sleazy life.
-- The Daily Telegraph
