Bangkok Burning

Graham Floyd has just seven days to get what he craves. The closeted 40 year old, crippled by anxiety issues, gambles everything on a smile, swapping dreary south London for the brutal chaos of Bangkok. He soon finds himself prey not only to Natasha, the transsexual nightclub schemer he loses his heart to, but in thrall to the slimy US Svengali who owns her. Bangkok is also Graham’s awakening, though will he triumph in a fight to the death for what’s really his? Published in paperback by The Conrad Press and available from Amazon, Foyles, Queer Lit and as an e-book on Kindle.
