The Land of Smiles Trilogy was written in the early 1990s, a time when the Internet was a nascent entity, still kicking its feet in the digital crib. You can read more about the new revised editions and how to buy from my website.
“Christopher G. Moore has long been a big name in crime for his Vincent Calvino books, based on the exploits of an American private eye in Thailand's seedy underbelly.”

Reviews
”Moore's Vincent Calvino novels ... are crisp, atmospheric entertainments set in a noirish Bangkok.”
Guardian
“Moore is an idealist and a lone warrior who doesn't hesitate to get his hands dirty.... Those who have travelled to Southeast Asia will be captivated by his ability to recreate the atmosphere.”
