The Legend of The Fourth Cart – Part 2
On a sunny afternoon in 1972, a brash young English lad, the owner of a Bangkok bar, takes a stroll through Lumpini Park with his family and friends. At some stage, a joke is cracked, he laughs and places a hand, intimately, on a Thai boy’s shoulder. The event is unremarkable, except that twenty years later, a witness testifies that the boy became Khun Sa, a legendary drug lord from the Golden Triangle.
In May 1992, DCI Magee, the investigating officer in the Avenging Buddha case, has Khun Sa down as his main suspect for a series of brutal murders.
On the trail of the killer, DCI Magee travels to Bangkok to solve the Lumpini Park incident, unaware of the political turmoil about to engulf the country. Caught in the nightmare of civil unrest, DCI Magee is also blissfully unaware that he has been set up by the British Intelligence Service like a goat to catch a tiger.
