The Long Wait is Over
The follow up to Bangkok Rules is called A Farewell to Paradise and is available in paperback and Kindle.
Carl Engel has left his private investigation business behind him and is lying low on a tropical island. He has been living on the beach with Nadia, a Russian woman he knows nothing about, and when she's found dead, it's unclear whether it was his past that killed her or her own. Meanwhile, the police think Carl did it and have no interest in looking for other suspects. Carl returns to Bangkok under a cloud of suspicion with his loyal sidekick George, and his investigation takes him from Bangkok’s seedy bars and clubs to Vienna, Bratislava, and Belgrade.
Harlan Wolff has lived in Thailand since 1977 and before becoming a writer was a successful Private Investigator and corporate troubleshooter specialising in major crime. The Carl Engel series is a gritty and real account of a Bangkok based PI’s milieu.
"An exciting page-turner which you can’t put down. Loved it as much as Bangkok Rules and can’t wait for the next book!!" - Hugh Van Es
""Finally, the sequel to Bangkok Rules is here, and it’s literary dynamite! Leaving his life as a private eye behind him, boozy ex-pat Carl Engel is drunkenly lying low on a tropical island. Declared the only suspect in his Russian girlfriend’s brutal murder, Carl heads back to Bangkok to clear his name. It’s been a six-year wait for the second Carl Engel thriller, and now I’m waiting for the third! Mr Wolff’s writing style is fluid and playful. There is no reliance on dry narrative detail or overlong exposition. His characters remain vivid, memorable but most of all believable. The Carl Engel series is top tier crime fiction." - Alex Shaw (Author of Cold Blood)
