A priceless collection of 9 gold bullet coins issued during the Reign of Rama V has gone missing along with a Thai coin collector. Local police find a link between the missing Thai coins and Calvino's childhood friend, Josh Stein, who happens to be in Bangkok on an errand for his new Russian client. This old friend and his personal and business entanglements with the Russian underworld take Calvino back to New York, along with Pratt.

Best Calvino Novel in Quite Some Time! 4 1/2-Stars! Joseph Kohout Jr. Just when I thought it was time for Moore to retire Calvino off to a hammock on some remote island off the coast of Krabi!
