Book Description
Travel writer Poke Rafferty was good at looking for trouble—so good
that he made a little money writing a few offbeat travel guides for the
young and terminally bored. But that was before Bangkok stole his heart.
Now the expat American is happily playing family with Rose, the former
go-go dancer he wants to marry, and with Miaow, the wary street child he
wants to adopt. Yet just when everything is beginning to work out,
trouble comes looking for Poke in the guise of good intentions. First he
takes in Miaow's friend, a troubled and terrifying street urchin named
Superman. Then he agrees to find a distraught Aussie woman's missing
uncle—and accept an old woman's generous payment to find a
blackmailing theif. Soon, these three seemingly disparate events begin
to overlap, pulling Poke deeper into dark, unfamiliar terrain.
Gradually he realizes that he's been gliding across the surface of a
culture he really doesn't understand—and that what he doesn't know
is about to hurt him and everyone he loves.
Beautifully crafted, relentlessly paced, A Nail Through the Heart is an
exciting and enticing read that will leave readers hungry for more from
the gifted Timothy Hallinan.
Enjoy!
