The Case of the Vanishing Conman by Mithran Somasundrum

Bangkok, Chinatown: Vijay, a perennially broke translator-private eye, is juggling two different cases. For Khun Pleum, a ruthless ex-gangster, he’s investigating the strange shooting of a novelist. Meanwhile, for Khun Pleum’s wife he’s trying to discover the name of Khun Pleum’s mistress. Vijay knows he shouldn’t have taken both jobs, but he’s got a debt collector with a claw hammer threatening to make his ankles turn all the way round.

As Vijay’s double life threatens to catch up with him, he begins to suspect Khun Pleum’s empire has been built on a terrible secret.
