Timothy Hallinan is the author of nine widely praised books: eight novels--including the Bangkok thrillers featuring Poke Rafferty--and a work of nonfiction. Along with his wife, Munyin Choy, he divides his time equally between Los Angeles, California, and Southeast Asia.
"Another masterpiece of contemporary crime fiction. Hallinan takes
us on a thrilling Tuk Tuk ride into a city seemingly always on the
verge of chaos that somehow always manages to hold together-if you
like tautly plotted, intelligent crime fiction do yourself a favor
and jump on board."--Adrian McKinty, author of Dead I Well May Be
and Fifty Grand
"BREATHING WATER crackles with the intrigue and danger of the
streets and sanctums of modern-day Bangkok. Like a twenty-first
century Maltese Falcon laced with Bangkok 8."--Andrew Gross, New
York Times bestselling author of The Blue Zone, The Dark Tide, and
Don't Look Twice
"Cleverly crafted, masterfully written, characters and dialogue
rooted in reality, BREATHING WATER offers fascinating insights into
the dark side of crime in another culture. Written with the
authority of one who knows life on the hard edge in southeast Asia.
Another wonderful read from an author who knows his
business."--Steve Martini, New York Times bestselling author of
Shadow of Power and Compelling Evidence
"Humor and horror expertly play off one another in a rapid-fire
story of political intrigue and murder. The plot is skillfully
tangled and the sense of menace refreshingly relentless. Top form
writing set in Bangkok, a great place for action and a backdrop
Hallinan uses to superb advantage."--James Church, author of A
Corpse in the Koryo
"The best thriller of the year. Smart, fast, exotic."--Larry
Beinhart, author of SALVATION BOULEVARD and American Hero (AKA Wag
the Dog)
