As far as I can see, the book is DRM-free and is not geographically restricted.
One of the best books I have read in a long time.
It is not only a nice fast-paced gangster thriller, with a complex plot. It is also a book about Bangkok underworld and high society. The author has been living in Thailand for quite a long time and paints very interesting and complex picture on the background of the recent riots in Bangkok.

Product Description
Take a walk on the darkside.
Orphaned as a child and raised as the only son of a Thai mafia godfather, Chance plans to quit the family business for the woman he loves.
Chance’s father is the godfather of Pak Nam and owner of the largest crocodile farm on earth. He didn’t get to where he is without knowing a thing or two about people, including how long it takes for a crocodile to digest one. Before Chance can quit, his father asks him to “take care of a little something for me.” Then a bomb goes off.
Waking up in hospital later that night, his father in a coma next door, Chance’s troubles have only just begun. There are three guys dressed in black down the corridor and they aren’t carrying flowers. Worse, Uncle Mike isn’t answering his phone, and a guy with a lisp is asking for a hundred million dollars in a week or “I’ll kill him, sthlowly.”
While figuring out who is trying to put the family permanently out of business, where to get a hundred million, and who’s got Uncle Mike, in the midst of a Bangkok gone crazy with factional fighting, quitting the family business takes a backseat to survival.
Survival begins with dying. And dying is the easy part.
