The Risk of Infidelity Index

In the twenty years he has lived in Bangkok, Christopher G. Moore has written nine novels starring Vincent Calvino, a disbarred American lawyer working as a private investigator in the steamy Thai capital. Internationally acclaimed, the prize-winning novels have been translated into ten languages, and were first published in North America in 2007, with The Risk of Infidelity Index, the latest in the series.

When Calvino's surveillance of a drug piracy ring results in definitive video evidence, it looks like his fortunes are about to turn. However, when his client dies of a heart attack and he discovers the body of a murdered massage girl downstairs, the authorities become suspicious of the foreigner in the wrong place at the wrong time, twice.

To complicate matters further, with the dead man unlikely to pay, Calvino is forced to take on a job he doesn't want: trailing the spouses of three expat housewives who have been unsettled by the The Risk of Infidelity Index, a handbook that ranks Bangkok as the city where men are most likely to stray. Unfortunately for Calvino, jealous wives tend to be unhappy, regardless of the results, and drug pirates are not the type to play nice.
