Inhaltsangabe
Bangkok, rich in history and spirituality, crowded with temples, markets and canals, is also a city shrouded in shadows. Polluted, corrupt, infamous as the sex capital of the world, it is a place where wealth, poverty and unimaginable evil walk hand in hand. Inside a locked Mercedes, an African American Marine sergeant is killed by a maddened python and a swarm of cobras. Two cops - the only two in the city not on the take - arrive too late. Minutes later, only one is alive. Sonchai Jitplecheep is a blond fair-skinned Thai; a devout Buddhist who commutes daily between the sacred precepts of his religion and the profane delights the city has to offer as darkness falls. Sworn to avenge the death of his partner and soul brother, Sonchai works his way through District 8, where illicit drugs, prostitution and police corruption are an endemic way of life. His tools are the forensic techniques of the modern police department; no less vital is his profound understanding of the mystical workings of the spirit world. Soon he is in a realm he has never before encountered: the moneyed underbelly of Bangkok, where desire rules and the human body is as custom-designable as a raw hunk of jade. And where Sonchai eventually tracks the killer, a predator of an even more sinister variety. A deeply original story of gripping pace and reality, Bangkok 8 is that rare thing: a darkly atmospheric literary novel that continues to haunt long after you've turned the last page.

Zustand: Muy bueno. : Bangkok 8 es una novela de suspenso profundamente original y atmosférica que transporta al lector a las sombras de Bangkok. La historia sigue a Sonchai Jitplecheep, un policía tailandés y devoto budista, quien se ve envuelto en una peligrosa investigación tras el asesinato de su compañero y hermano de alma dentro de un Mercedes cerrado. A medida que Sonchai se adentra en el submundo de la ciudad, donde la corrupción, las drogas y la prostitución son moneda corriente, deberá utilizar tanto sus habilidades forenses modernas como su profundo conocimiento del mundo espiritual para atrapar a un asesino implacable.Esta obra cautivadora explora los contrastes de una ciudad donde la riqueza y la pobreza, lo sagrado y lo profano, conviven en un equilibrio precario. Con un ritmo trepidante y una ambientación magistral, John Burdett logra crear una narrativa que no solo atrapa desde la primera página, sino que continúa resonando en la mente del lector mucho después de haber terminado el libro.
