Timothy Hallinan writes the Poke Rafferty novels, a series set in Bangkok, more specifically the Patpong district. Patpong is where many of the red lights are. Although the series is about an American married to a beautiful ex-bar girl, many of the observations about life there apply as well to working guys. The latest novel, Street Music, arrived in my hands today and I am 20% in, having decided to spread the reading out over 5 days- to savor it rather than swallow it! What I am looking for here is fellow fans of Timothy Hallinan. Perhaps we could share observations.
