Angkor Away
Graphic designer Paul has a history. Having organized events on the London rave scene and supplied recreational drugs across the capital, he turns his back on his past life and leaves the UK to travel the world, picking up the odd bit of legal and illegal work on the way.
After meeting gifted Thai chemists, Paul sets up a lab in Northern Thailand, producing high-quality LSD. But there are others on the same turf who don't appreciate the competition. When his new business comes to the attention of a local crime lord, Paul has to take drastic measures to survive.
It doesn't take long for Paul to be pulled back into the world of drug trafficking, as he gets involved with the biggest cartel in the region. When things turn sour, a frantic hunt across South East Asia follows. But when Paul and his pursuers finally confront each other, the answers are not at all what he had expected.

I read this book in anticipation of an upcoming journey in Southeast Asia. I learned a lot about everyday life and the customs and traditions of the Khmer people in Cambodia as well as Thai people. While this is fun and informative, it takes you into the darker side of the drug world in search of a killer. The author is a bit of foodie taking a lot of time describing his favorite dishes. I enjoyed this romp, but it turned a bit too violent for my tastes in the end. Still, it is a well written and entertaining. If you like a murder mystery set in an exotic land you will like this book.
