Book Description
Welcome to Phuket. It s a paradise, for the rich, the beautiful and the heavily armed. When Jack Shepherd runs into international racketeer and fugitive Plato Karsarkis in a Phuket beach bar one night, little can he imagine the series of events the chance encounter sets in motion. Jack finds himself swiftly embroiled in a world of arms deals, extortion and blackmail. At stake is five million dollars, a presidential pardon, and he must fight for his life if he is to successfully bring off what Plato asks of him. The third in the best-selling Jack Shepherd series, this volume combines a crackling fast pace with evocative descriptions of Phuket, and biting observations of the country s customs and mores. In this most colourful of tropical paradises, a dark and explosive tale unfolds. Killing Plato was first published in 2003.
