FUN CITY EXPRESS.......A PULP NOIR THRILLER

"... a tropical pulp fiction with an international cast of characters caught in a spider web of corruption, with coldblooded murder for cash at the center. The city comes alive in all its beautiful savagery. It is a strange place that is both burning with poverty and drowning with dirty money." - Ish Galvan

"...an action-packed journey through the ins and outs of international insurance and the tropical scammers gaming the system. It's a richly layered story with a treasure trove of observational detail which will delight. This is the definitive work for the character of Joe Dylan. This is how Joe Dylan Begins..... Seemingly tempted at every turn, we share in his strength as he battles addiction with all the tools in the kit. Circumstances conspire and bring Joe Dylan to a point where the only way he can survive is by passing through the needle's eye of his own darkness." - Alasdair McLeod

Fraud expert JOE DYLAN is investigating the death of two backpackers on the tropical island that has been dubbed by expats and locals DEATH ISLAND. Burnt out expat JAMES HALE can't play poker for love nor money. He needs to escape the city before the mob catch up with him and collect what's owed. They accept cash or body parts. GANTIRA is on the run from husband SHOGUN and his brother RANG who are both intent on squeezing as much cash out of the island as possible before they kill each other.

"Fun City Express is a wild ride through Thailand's seedy underbelly - Mr. Strange abuses eternal truths, clichés and painful realities in equal measure and serves up a good beach read. He joins more established writers such as Christopher G. Moore and John Burdett in an exploration of Thailand's garish netherworld of private eyes, prostitutes, pimps, gangsters, cops and dirty tricks." - Tom Vater - Chiang Mai City News.
