“The first of a new series, set in Thailand, and following the exploits of a former top sports journalist from Bangkok Jimm Juree, exiled to the hinterland by her mother's insane decision to sell their house and buy a dilapidated resort.
When a Volkswagen Kombi is found, completely buried, and with two intact skeletons inside it, Jimm takes the opportunity to use all her journalist's wiles to turn investigator and to begin to secure her redemption. As if that were not enough, an abbott turns up dead at a local monastery, and the only suspect appears to be a venerable abbott. With Sergeant Phoom (a gay man in a man's police force), her borther/sister Sissie and body-builder other brother Arny, Jimm turns over all the rocks to find the truth ... And uncovers more than she expected, including a love of her new home!”
