Shiny Objects of Desire

Philip J. Coggan

4.9/5 (13317 ratings)

Description:Philip Coggan's Shiny Objects of Desire is a darkly atmospheric comic crime thriller set in Phnom Penh and is the first in a projected series of detective mysteries following the adventures of Burl Ives, the expatriate Australian owner of a Phnom Penh riverfront bistro. Burl is a different sort of bar owner his prime aims in life are to attract the breakfast crowd and avoiding attachments. He's doing nicely until he stumbles across Maurice (owner of one of the more notorious bars in Phnom Penh), naked, dead and handcuffed to his bed. Now he has to find out why Maurice was killed. The novel captures perfectly the unique flavour and enduring oddness of Phnom Penh and there's lots of deadpan fun to be had at the expatriates expense in their dealings with Khmer culture and the police. Obviously such private eye capers can be set in any city of the world but the story is made more realistic by personal knowledge and affection for Cambodia and this is down, no doubt, to Coggan having being posted to Phnom Penh during his previous career as an Australian diplomat.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
