Political turbulence roils Thailand in the 11th novel in the Calvino series. Bangkok streets are filled with protestors. Demonstration spill over to the occupation of Government House in Bangkok. Hired by an American businessman, Calvino finds himself caught in the middle of a family conflict over a Chinese corporate takeover. This is no ordinary assignment. Private eye Vincent Calvino and his client face powerful forces set to seize much more than a family business. As the bodies accumulate while Vincent navigates Thailand’s business-political landmines, only to become entangled in a secret deal made by desperate men who will stop at nothing—and no one—standing in their way. Despite the warnings, Calvino refuses to stand aside. The Corruptionist captures with precision the undercurrents enveloping Bangkok, revealing multiple layers of betrayal and deception. The story is as relevant in 2021 as it was a decade ago.
