Bangkok 8, c'est le code postal du quartier chaud de la mégalopole thaïlandaise, un égout à ciel ouvert et un champ de bataille dans lequel opère Sonchaï Jitpleecheep, fils d'un GI et d'une fille de bar thaïe. Seul policier de Bangkok à ne pas toucher de pots-de-vin, bouddhiste pratiquant, il est chargé d'enquêter sur un meurtre peu banal : celui d'un marine américain noir retrouvé - mort - dans une Mercedes blindée aux portières condamnées. En la seule compagnie d'un python et d'une flopée de cobras hypervenimeux... Sonchai part dans les bas-fonds de la ville à la recherche du meurtrier. Cette plongée dans un monde qu'il connaît mieux que personne, en compagnie d'un agent du FBI de sexe féminin qu'on lui assigne contre son gré, permet au lecteur ébahi de découvrir, au-delà d'une intrigue com-plexe et riche en rebondissements, une ville où règnent drogues, corruption, prostitution, misère et richesse illimitées. Un univers hallucinant, beaucoup plus sinistre que tout ce que Sonchai lui-même aurait pu imaginer...
