Temidden van de donkere straten van Londen loert een onvoorstelbare verschrikking... Gruwelijke dingen schuilen in het Oude Kwartier. Wie 's nachts de straat op gaat, is een gemakkelijke prooi voor de wolven en moordenaars die de kronkelige straatjes teisteren, of voor nog veel dodelijker wezens... Maar niets is gevaarlijker dan het kwaad in vermomming. De ogenschijnlijke rijkdom en liefdadigheid van de hoogste kringen zijn een dekmantel voor een monsterlijk verbond dat een bedreiging vormt voor de hele mensheid. En het middelpunt ervan is de beeldschone, kwetsbare, mysterieuze Alaizabel Cray - de sleutel tot een onuitsprekelijk kwaad.

But his dreams of success are overshadowed when his father, Matthew, is abducted on a business trip to Colombia.

And as Nick soon learns, it isn’t the guerillas who hold the key to his father’s survival. A group of faceless lawyers at a powerful firm has something to hide, and will stop at nothing to keep Nick from discovering the truth.

Bangkok 8, c'est le code postal du quartier chaud de la mégalopole thaïlandaise, un égout à ciel ouvert et un champ de bataille dans lequel opère Sonchaï Jitpleecheep, fils d'un GI et d'une fille de bar thaïe. Seul policier de Bangkok à ne pas toucher de pots-de-vin, bouddhiste pratiquant, il est chargé d'enquêter sur un meurtre peu banal : celui d'un marine américain noir retrouvé - mort - dans une Mercedes blindée aux portières condamnées. En la seule compagnie d'un python et d'une flopée de cobras hypervenimeux... Sonchai part dans les bas-fonds de la ville à la recherche du meurtrier. Cette plongée dans un monde qu'il connaît mieux que personne, en compagnie d'un agent du FBI de sexe féminin qu'on lui assigne contre son gré, permet au lecteur ébahi de découvrir, au-delà d'une intrigue com-plexe et riche en rebondissements, une ville où règnent drogues, corruption, prostitution, misère et richesse illimitées. Un univers hallucinant, beaucoup plus sinistre que tout ce que Sonchai lui-même aurait pu imaginer...
