"McMillan never loses the thread and the pacing is perfect - a little thoughtful explication here, a thug's face shattered beyond recognition there. And he manages this amazing balancing act with riveting style.........It's impossible to imagine anything extra being packed into Bangkok Belle."
Paul Dorsey, The Sunday Nation, Thailand.

"From the start of 'Bangkok Cowboy' we were gripped." - CrimeBookClub.co.uk
"a fast-moving, action-packed thriller." - ThaiSabai.org
"That Mason and Dixie have their lethal moments is expected and McMillan dishes out the violence with skill, thrills and the right amount of restraint - i.e. not much - but never without good reason." - Iain Millar, Wowasis.com
#2 in the Mason & Dixie crime thriller series.
Bangkok private eye duo Mason & Dixie are hired to provide protection to Australian soap opera star Belle Cooper, who came under vicious attack from the moment she announced her participation in a Bangkok pageant.
British Army veteran Mason and his transgender business partner Dixie already have their hands full with the disappearance of their colleague. Aom went missing while keeping watch on a night club owner called Chocolate, who is suspected of murdering her British husband, Robert Collingwood.
Mason & Dixie have to keep Belle safe while juggling threats posed by the corrupt police colonel who swept the Collingwood investigation under the carpet, the ex-IRA hit man who is Chocolate's new boyfriend, and an ageing New Jersey mobster working for the Macau mafia.
Showdowns at an exclusive inner city resort and an abandoned fruit farm on the outskirts of the Thai capital take this fast-moving thriller to an explosive conclusion.
Genre: Mystery
