Product Overview
Anjali Rao is a chocoholic Hindu grandmother who likes a gin-and-tonic now and then. The wife of a U.N. diplomate, she's been trying to keep a low profile in Vientiane, Laos, because of something that happened at her husband's previous post. And that's boring. All this changes when the body of a controversial foreign hostess is found floating in the Mekong. The dead woman's Embassy and the Lao Government seem to rush to declare her death an accident, but the expatriate community doesn't believe it. Unforeseen events pull Anjali into investigating, and soon she's rushing around in her beloved Deux Chevaux, finding more malice than she thought possible. As Anjali sorts through the facts and lies, she discovers the expatriate community is hiding more than one secret. And one of them is downright dangerous. If you're a mystery-lover, this twisty plot has surprises right up to the end. And if you've ever wondered what it might be like to live in an exotic locale, this insider's view of Vientiane shows the ins and outs of expatriate life.
