John Burdett writes darkly inventive fiction with a comic twist. In The Godfather of Kathmandu, Royal Thai police detective Sonchai Jitpleecheep is called to a grisly murder scene that could make or break his career, but he's more worried about impressing Tietsin, his new Buddhist guru. However, Tietsin would rather use Sonchai to help him broker a heroin deal worth 40 million dollars. Left with no easy way out and plenty of moral conflict, Sonchai will have to decide between saving his soul and saving his career.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“A dizzying array of multifaceted storylines…Burdett juggles the various plots with great dexterity…A whirlwind of a novel.” —Booklist (starred review)
“A blissfully nutty caper that brings back fond memories of the late lamented Ross Thomas’ crazy-quilt crime fiction…Distinguishing crooks from good guys is only one of the pleasures [here].”  —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
“The spiciest yet of Burdett’s exotic dishes.” —Times (London)
“This is a novel brimming with observations and arguments, with absurdity and jokes…Witty, learned, and wild.” —Washington Post Book World
“It is the mordant wit of his exhaustively observant ‘monk manqué’ hero that fuels this blissful and dexterous book.” —Houston Chronicle
“Burdett’s latest mystery is delightfully ambiguous, like life itself.” —St. Louis Post-Dispatch
