    About this ebook

    Joe Fleck's life consists of monotony, of lost opportunities, lost bets and lost love. With the notoriously dangerous loan-sharks of Reading, the town where he grew up, breathing down his neck, Joe decides to flee the country for the paradaisical lands of Southeast Asia where the sun shines and where beautiful women, good times and cheap alcohol come in abundance.

    When Joe invests his 'borrowed' funds in a bar located on a Thai beachfront, he finds that as the local mafias close in to offer their protection services, paradise comes at a high price, and that murder, kidnapping and hard drugs aren't just the stuff of action movies. They're what Joe must adapt to if he wants to stay alive.

      Two Poems by Charles Baudelaire

      Jun 9, 2020

      After my friend and I left the tobacco shop, he carefully sorted his loose change; slipped some small gold coins in his left jacket pocket; into the right went the silver pieces; in his left pants pocket, a handful of centimes; and in the right, a si

      No Thanks, I’m Just Looking…

      Aug 18, 2022

      I’d like to think I’m a fairly well-mannered person: I say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’, hold doors for people, put the neighbours’ bins out when they’re away, never sing the national anthem at full volume in the middle of the library, and generally foll

      Plundering The Past

      Mar 9, 2022

      I used to hate it when contemporaries would say: ‘At our age…’ This observation always preceded some gloomy admission – that they could no longer dance the night away, get a good night’s sleep, enjoy sex, get a man to look at them twice or perform a

      Guilt - Edge Security

      May 10, 2021

      I sat beside the bar rubbing my glass across polished mahogany and watching trails of moisture it left behind. It must have cost them a fortune to ship real wood way out to the Rim. It didn’t look synthetic. I looked over at the barman and he tossed

      THURSDAY, 10 DECEMBER. Giles shows us the sample mice and I am, as if for the first time, overcome with joy. Perhaps when I was a child I had feelings like this—but not in many years. I look, for instance, at a small gray mouse, smaller than the othe

      Black Tie – Worse Than The Black Death

      Dec 14, 2022

      It came as a shock recently to discover, in some long-abandoned cranny of this ravaged psyche, a residue of what felt like self-respect. Any epsilon male sunk deep into middle age, and deeper into irrelevance, has no business caring what others think
