5 Series

John Burdett is a British crime fiction novelist renowned for his Sonchai Jitpleecheep series set in Bangkok. His works explore Thai culture, superstitions, and the local crime scene. Burdett plans to expand beyond the detective genre upon completing his current series.

John Burdett's writing career began in the late nineties with standalone novels before he introduced his acclaimed series featuring Thai detective Sonchai Jitpleecheep. In "Bangkok 8," Sonchai investigates the murder of his partner, navigating Bangkok's seedy underbelly. "Bangkok Tattoo" follows as Sonchai delves into a case involving a murdered prostitute and CIA intrigue. "Bangkok Haunts" sees him exploring a snuff film's origins, linking to powerful figures. "The Godfather of Kathmandu" involves a case tied to the international drug trade, while "Vulture Peak" and "The Last Six Million Seconds" continue to weave complex narratives around crime, corruption, and Thai culture.
