Hired by an American businessman, Calvino finds himself caught in the middle of a family conflict over a Chinese corporate takeover. This is no ordinary deal. Calvino and his client are up against powerful forces set to seize much more than a family business. As the bodies accumulate while he navigates Thailand's business-political landmines, Calvino becomes increasingly entangled in a secret deal made by men who will stop at nothing-and no one-standing in their way. But Calvino refuses to step aside. The Corruptionist captures with precision the undercurrents enveloping Bangkok, revealing multiple layers of betrayal and deception.

A contemporary murder set in Bangkok-a neighbor and friend, a young ex-hooker turned artist, is found dead by an American millionaire's minor wife.

Tenth in the Vincent Calvino SeriesIn the 10th Vincent Calvino novel, Calvino follows the mistress of an aspiring politician. Calvino’s assignment takes him deep into the lives of those working inside secret prisons and private contractors. When Jack is paid back a body is left behind. This time the pay back is in Bangkok.“Moore has the intellectual and emotional ability to perceive what is in the hearts and minds of the Thai populace. Not least, he grasps the nuances of language. . . . I dare say a screen adaptation of at least one of the Calvino books isn’t far off.”—Bernard Trink, Bangkok Post“Christopher G. Moore is an exceptional writer. . . . The way the different characters, which seem unrelated to each other, are finally brought together is superb literary craftsmanship. Paying Back Jack is a tale which will have you snarling at the intrusion of a telephone. . . . Get this book.”—Lang Reid, Pattaya Mail
