Hunters in the Dark

Adrift in Cambodia, Robert O'Grieve u pushing thirty and eager to side-step a life of quiet desperation as a small-town teacher -- decides to go AWOL. As he crosses the border from Thailand into Cambodia, he tests the threshold of a new future. And on that first night, a small windfall precipitates a chain of events involving a bag of 'jinxed' money, a suave American, a trunk full of heroin, a hustler taxi driver, a corrupt policeman, and a rich doctor's daughter, in which Robert's life is changed forever. Alive with malice and grace, this is a headlong, riveting tale -- of being lost and found, of innocence in the midst of evil, and of hunters and their prey u from a master of atmosphere and observation.
