Description
A young Cambodian returns home.
A diamond shipment goes missing.
A foreign assassin arrives in Phnom Penh.
And then there's chocolate - lots of it.
 Â
Phirun is determined to make it as Cambodia's first chocolate chef. But things don't go quite as planned when he gets unwittingly caught up in a deadly turf war between rivaling diamond mafia and those who are after them. Falling in love with a mysterious Khmer-Australian doesn't help him.
The novel takes us from Tel Aviv through Belgium and Bangkok right up to Phnom Penh. Throw in an overzealous post-9/11 American Intelligence officer and a corrupt Belgian ex-Colonel, in this fast read of crime and intrigue, chocolates have never tasted so good!
