From the Big Apple
to the Big Orange
to the Big Mango.

Bangkok was like falling
off the edge of the world.

And that was exactly
what he wanted to do.

Ten tons of money is missing, the fruit of a bungled CIA operation to grab the Bank of Vietnam's currency reserves when the Americans fled Saigon in 1975.

Twenty years later the word on the street is that all that cash somehow ended up in Bangkok, and by an odd quirk of fate, a downwardly-mobile lawyer from San Francisco named Eddie Dare and an old hippy named Winnebago Jones may be the only guy with a shot at finding it again.

When an old company commander from their Vietnam war days turns up very dead outside a Bangkok massage parlor, Eddie and Winnebago are sucked into the jagged netherworld of modern-day Thailand --- a corkscrewed realm where big-time criminals tango with small-time hustlers, gangsters on the lam mingle with bureaucrats on the take, and the merely raffish jostle with the downright scary for center stage in the big leagues of weird.

To find their way back out again, all Eddie and Winnebago have to do is figure out what really happened to their old captain. And where ten tons of money went.
