Acerca de esta escucha
Poke Rafferty was writing offbeat travel guides for the young and terminally bored when Bangkok stole his heart. Now the American expat is assembling a new family with Rose, the former go-go dancer he wants to marry, and Miaow, the tiny, streetwise urchin he wants to adopt.
But trouble in the guise of good intentions comes calling just when everything is beginning to work out. Poke agrees to take in Superman, Miaow's troubled and terrifying friend from the gutter. Then he agrees to help locate a distraught Aussie woman's missing uncle and accepts a generous payment to find a blackmailing thief. No longer gliding carelessly across the surface of a culture he doesn't really understand, suddenly Poke is plodding through dark and unfamiliar terrain - and everything and everyone he loves is in terrible danger.

The story opens with the apparently accidental drowning of a sixth form student in the Norfolk countryside. As a matter of routine, or so it seems, the case passes across the desk of Detective Sergeant Smith, recently returned to work after an internal investigation into another case that has led to tensions between officers at Kings Lake police headquarters. As an ex-DCI, Smith could have retired by now, and it is clear that some of his superiors wish that he would do so.

It would help them find a way to have the child they desperately want but can't seem to conceive. It is more money than either of them has ever seen in one place.

If you've never read a Repairman Jack novel, this is the place to begin. It's 1990. A twenty-one-year-old named Jack has dropped out of college, leaving his old life behind to build a new one in New York City. Manhattan's rough edges are jagged enough to shred any unwary newcomer, but perhaps not one who is determined to stay off the grid, at any cost, in the busiest metropolis on earth. And to do so, he'll have to take jobs of a less than legal nature.

Historia
The only sign of life for miles is an empty BMW. Inside the expensive car he finds clothes that fit perfectly, shoes for his tattered feet, a Rolex, and an auto registration in the name of Daniel Hayes, resident of Malibu, California. None of it is familiar. How did he get here? Who is he? Who was he? While he searches for answers, the world searches for him - beginning with the cops that kick in the door of his dingy motel with guns drawn. Lost and alone, the man who might be Daniel Hayes flees into the night. All he remembers is a woman’s face, so he sets off for the only place he might find her.

Best narrator
Best narrator I can ever remember listening too. His voices of the characters makes them come alive and you believe they really exist and have real lives. The subject matter may be hard for some. It is gritty novel of perversion in Thailand. For those of us who have spent some time in Asia, we can relate to third world societies, corruption and poverty all condoned by the ruling elite. I will definitely be reading the sequels.

A High Price
I am so glad that the ending was such as it was..how much it sobered the reader very quickly, and realize the high stakes game so many countries (and each one's citizens) are playing with entire generations. Just look at Mme Wing.

Wonderful Blend Between Thriller & Cultural Study
Having lived in Southeast Asia for over 12 years, I have to admit to having some trepidation about reading a book about a white guy named 'Poke'.
I shouldn't have worried. Hallinan offers up a marvelous blend of noir thriller, ethnographic study and a complex romance. I can honestly say I was engaged every minute of the 10 hours.
His portrait of Bangkok's seamy underbelly is spot on. And yet he takes the reader through it with enough of a detached eye to focus us on the central mystery. His main character is an brilliantly flawed, engaging and open man who draws the reader in and doesn't let go.
The story takes a serious journey into the world of child prostitution, abuse and pornography and the devastation it leaves behind in the lives it's touched. It also takes a haunting trip into the horrors of the Cambodia of the Khmer Rouge. Hallinan wraps it up in a web of police corruption, Buddhist mysticism and the jaded expat's view of Bangkok.
This book is not for the faint of heart. Some of it is extremely gritty. But it is not sensational in its approach and well worth the listening time and the credit.
The narrator is perfect for the story. You couldn't ask for better.

Beautiful Writing...Harsh Reality
Halinan's word craft is remarkable. Beautiful even. The story itself is engaging though harsh. The narration is stellar. The characters are compelling and multi faceted.

SEX TRAVELERS OR FRIENDS—READ THIS!
This story is heartbreaking. It is a story of what it’s really like for the boys, girls and women who work in or are kidnapped into the sex trade in Southeast Asia (including the porn you watch). About what happened to the Cambodians with the Khmer Rouge. About the American and Western men who come as sex tourists. If you know someone who has done this or is even thinking of doing this, you MUST listen to this book. It is . . . I don’t know a strong enough word. Not Despicable, Contemptible, Loathsome, Abhorrent, Heinous. No. Like the protagonist says, “Some people deserve to die.” This is a story that begins as a mystery or two, makes you love the people in it, breaks your heart, and resolves as gently and satisfactorily as is realistically possible. Many hard-to-fathom realities in it. Highly recommended.

Excellent but harrowing story
Great narration & a gripping story - thriller-style mystery. The main character, Poke, is very believable & I would like to see what happens next in the series. I was revolted, horrified and physically sickened by the various tortures described in the book, but although these are present they are not described gratuitously.

Your heart breaks for the characters
The author and the narrator do an excellent job of bringing these unique and intriguing characters to life. The story is scary and revolting as it brings to light the torture of children and adults alike in Thailand. The children can break your heart, as their stories are told, but most importantly you can understand the victims becoming the murderers, in an effort to deal with the horrors that they have had to suffer. Poke is an ordinary guy that finds himself loving two victims of this culture, trying to understand their way of coping with the past, while protecting them from the evil that has shown it's face at their door.
The book gets pretty gritty toward the end, with the suspense keeping you on the edge of your seat. Well worth the listen.
