One of the most emblematic researchers of noir literature arrives in Brazil.
Half- Italian, half- Jewish, with a legal career stalled in his native New York, the protagonist of *Infidelity* , Vincent Calvino, is a private detective in exotic Bangkok. Completely adapted to Thai culture, he relies solely on his keen understanding of local customs, traditions, and languages to stay alive. This becomes even more complex when his main client, middle-aged lawyer Andrew Danielson, and a young masseuse who works as a masseuse on the floor below his office die on the same night. At first glance, there's no connection between the deaths: suicide and heart attack.
The late lawyer's firm refuses to pay Calvino's fees, and he allies with John Lovell, who was fired for showing an interest in his colleague's death. Lovell has disturbing information about local celebrity Khun Weerawat that may be linked to Danielson. While trying to piece together this bizarre puzzle, Calvino supports himself by investigating marital infidelities: Bangkok, considered the world capital of sexual temptation, is a champion in the risk of infidelity.
But by trying to connect the dots and fill in the gaps, Calvino ends up discovering answers to many of his questions about drug trafficking and influence in the city. However, he can only rely on himself to unravel this web of intrigue. Will he succeed? Brilliant and mysterious, Risk of Infidelity is a compulsive thriller. Proof that Christopher G. Moore has reached the Olympus of genre writers.
