Midnight in Burma: A Golden Triangle thriller

i lived in rangoon..and know the author. I enjoyed reading it, despite the 3 page chapters and trite dialoge. F.Y.I. most of the life he writes about in Rangoon is true. The places are real (although the Paddy O'Malleys bar is in the sedona, not the inya lake hotel) and the life at the american club with softball is 100% true. Enjoyable summer reading.

The action never stops in this book. Starting out with a Ukranian hitman doing his dirty deed in Yangoon, Burma, the American lawyer protagonist finds himself in constant intrigue with a mysterious Hong Kong financial wizard of the female persuasion who gets kidnapped and he tries to track her down. Other characters include, the Wa general fighting the Burmese government, other shady characters. While on his way to free the Chinese woman, he finds that there is a contract out on him. It's a story full of twists and turns.
