A Killing Smile First in the Land of Smiles Trilogy by Christopher G. Moore n 1957 Richard Mason's The World of Suzie Wong shocked the world with an exotic tale set in Hong Kong, then in 1973 Paul Theroux's Saint Jack followed with a powerful story set in Singapore, and in 1991 Christopher G. Moore's A Killing Smile has registered a tour de force with a haunting drama set in Bangkok. A Killing Smile is a simple but deep story about the aftermath of events following the death of a successful Los Angeles attorney's wife. Lost, confused, and angry, Lawrence Baring, Esq. goes to Bangkok and confronts Tuttle--the man his wife, Sarah, had once loved. The story follows the conflict and enveloping relationship of Baring and Tuttle in the underworld of Bangkok's Patpong, Soi Cowboy, and the late night meeting spot called HQ where spies, gangsters, diplomats, pimps, businessmen, writers, teachers, travellers gather along side the women they buy for the night. The novel is filled with twists and turns and atmosphere and absolutely fascinating characters shipwrecked in a society they vaguely understand.

If he thinks he's going to win, he can bite me. I gave up trying to find my perfect match decades ago. As a vampire, you'd think I believed in things like true love, soul mates, and being bound to someone for eternity. But I've been around a long time, and I'm here to tell you, I just don't think those things exist—not for me, anyway. Still, being the creator of the vampire dating app V-date.com gives me something to fill my time, even if it won't be finding a match for me. I used to be the only vamp on the block with her own dating site—until that irritating, smug, completely ridiculous Ronin McDermott decided to get in on the game and create an interspecies speed-dating service. Well, we'll see about that. I didn't get to the top by being a pushover, and I have deliciously dark dreams of giving Ronin exactly what he deserves—though at the moment I can't decide if that's a quick punch to the throat or a sinful kiss under the glow of a vampire moon. Maybe there's no fighting destiny after all...
