When the Norwegian ambassador to Thailand is found dead in a Bangkok brothel, Oslo detective Harry Hole is dispatched to untangle the case. His investigation takes him through the city’s seedy go-go bars, temples, opium dens, and bustling streets, revealing layers of corruption and international intrigue that complicate the murder. As Hole pieces together clues, he realizes the ambassador’s death is the tip of a larger scandal involving diplomats, criminal syndicates, and hidden agendas. Despite resistance from local authorities and his own doubts, he pursues the truth in a city where the streets seem to hide more than just bodies.
