⇒ Via: BN.com

Athriller set in far east locales of Hong Kong, Cambodia and thailand. Ray Sharp is a former journalist turned investigator for a ex-CIA spook. He embarks on background check of a company for client which turns out is involved in illegal smuggling of Cambodian antiques. The main character comes across as a bungling, conflicted detective with James Bond like aspirations. Everywhere he goes women throw themselves at him. There is no deductive reasoning or investigative prowess evident. The main hero stumbles from one event to other without any clue. The ending is quite anti-climatic. The prose is Ok but it leaves you feeling unsatisfied. The author's inexperience shows though this is his second book.
