This time, Sonchai is thrust into the dark and chaotic world of international intrigue after a farang (foreigner) is found brutally murdered and mutilated in the Bangkok brothel co-owned by his mother and his superior. The victim, a CIA agent, throws Sonchai into a dangerous situation involving American spies, Muslim fundamentalists, and ruthless gangsters from three different countries.

To complicate matters, the primary suspect is Chanya, the brothel's most successful earner and a woman Sonchai has loved across multiple lifetimes. Caught between his devotion to Buddhist principles and his duty as a detective, Sonchai must find a way to solve the crime without incriminating the woman he loves, all while navigating a complex web of lies, secrets, and political interests.
