Sonchai Jitpleecheep, a deeply spiritual Bangkok police detective maintaining his unique sense of integrity within a corrupt system, returns in this violently farcical, twisty sequel to the bestselling and equally outrageous BANGKOK 8. Moonlighting at his mother Nong’s bar/brothel, Sonchai has fallen not-so-secretly in love with the establishment’s star performer, Chanya. That makes it particularly awkward when a blood-soaked but unharmed Chanya is discovered next to the disemboweled, flayed, and castrated corpse of her latest client, an American CIA agent. Sonchai is left with the unenviable task of figuring out why the American was killed while simultaneously covering up the crime to avoid CIA involvement in the investigation.
