About The Case of the Vanishing Conman by Mithran Somasundrum:
Bangkok, Chinatown: Vijay, a perennially broke translator-private eye, is juggling two different cases. For Khun Pleum, a ruthless ex-gangster, he’s investigating the strange shooting of a novelist. Meanwhile, for Khun Pleum’s wife he’s trying to discover the name of Khun Pleum’s mistress. Vijay knows he shouldn’t have taken both jobs, but he’s got a debt collector with a claw hammer threatening to make his ankles turn all the way round.
