Prickly Heat

Stephen Boyle

Into the heat of the Thailand underworld wanders Alex, an overconfident logistical manger working in the Irish drugs trade, to collect 20kg of stolen Burmese heroin. Told within the context of the disorientating social effects of covid, and the darker consequences of over tourism as an economic model, the novel follows Alex as he moves through the Thai underworld with no subtlety whatsoever, followed closely by the original owners, a Hong Kong triad of ferocious reputation.
