"Nick Seeley's "Cambodia Noir "is a tense and compelling neo-noir. This striking debut makes it clear that Seeley is a fine storyteller and a master of narrative voice. Highly recommended for readers looking for edgy and artfully crafted suspense."--Mark Wisniewski, author of WATCH ME GO
"Cambodia Noir" is not for the faint-hearted. Nick Seeley s debut novel takes the reader into the Inner Circle of Hell: Phnom Penh, Cambodia, a city of drugs, death, and violence. Seeley s characters are alive, until they re not, and his plotting and pacing are as sharp and original as his writing. Nelson DeMille"
"How do you sum up a book as layered as "Cambodia Noir"? It's a riveting sequence of meticulously choreographed psychological strip teases. It's an eat-you-up-suck-you-in page turner. "Cambodia Noir" is refreshingly rich with human emotion and unsolvable problems. Seeley is an imaginative storyteller with a journalist's eye for detail. You feel that in every page of this bubbling cauldron of a book."--Caroline Kepnes, author of "You"
Seeley "gets" Phnom Penh in the same way that John Burdett "gets" Bangkok, with descriptions so vivid that even if Seeley never mentioned the city by name, anyone who had ever spent time there would recognize it immediately. The thriller unfolds at a breakneck pace, with a backdrop of unrest and upheaval, and characters that blur (or totally obliterate) the lines between good and bad. Seeley impresses on every count. --BookPage ""TOP MYSTERY PICK"""
"Nick Seeley s "Cambodia Noir "is a tense and compelling neo-noir. This striking debut makes it clear that Seeley is a fine storyteller and a master of narrative voice. Highly recommended for readers looking for edgy and artfully crafted suspense."--Mark Wisniewski, author of "Watch Me Go""
Propulsive, entertaining and slightly psychotic, "Cambodia Noir" is an enticing blend of politics, drugs and mayhem. This ambitious first thriller from Nick Seeley, a journalist who spent a decade in the Middle East and Southeast Asia, is not for the faint of heart. . . . "Cambodia Noir" is a fast-paced, surreal journey through an out-of-control nation . A violent, unforgettable thriller. --"Shelf Awareness""
"[A] high octane thrill ride."--"The Daily Telegraph"
"A compelling, fast-moving, and dark debut."--"Largehearted Boy"

The more dissolute photojournalist Will Keller looks for a disappeared young intern, the more he needs to watch his back. Monsoon-fueled Phnom Penh rumbles with murderous cops, an impending military coup, machete assassinations, and swerving motorbike rides on pitch-black roads. Nick Seeley s Cambodia Noir is a mangrove swamp of a thriller you won t put down. A terrific read. --Jason Matthews, New York Times bestselling author of Red Sparrow and Palace of Treason"
Reseña del editor
A high-octane thriller with a heart-stopping conclusion about a mysterious American woman who disappears into the Cambodian underworld, and the photojournalist who tracks her through the clues left in her diary. Phnom Penh, Cambodia: The end of the line. Lawless, drug-soaked, forgotten--it's where bad journalists go to die. For once-great war photographer Will Keller, that's kind of a mission statement: he spends his days floating from one score to the next, taking any job that pays; his nights are a haze of sex, drugs, booze, and brawling. But Will's spiral toward oblivion is interrupted by Kara Saito, a beautiful young woman who shows up and begs Will to help find her sister, June, who disappeared during a stint as an intern at the local paper. There's a world of bad things June could have gotten mixed up in. The Phnom Penh underworld is in an uproar after a huge drug bust; a local reporter has been murdered in a political hit; and the government and opposition are locked in a standoff that could throw the country into chaos at any moment. Will's best clue is June's diary: an unsettling collection of experiences, memories, and dreams, reflecting a young woman at once repelled and fascinated by the chaos of Cambodia. As Will digs deeper into June's past, he uncovers one disturbing fact after another about the missing girl and her bloody family history. In the end, the most dangerous thing in Cambodia may be June herself. Propulsive, electric, and filled with unforgettable characters, "Cambodia Noir "marks the arrival of a fresh new talent. Nick Seeley is an ambitious, wildly imaginative author and his enthralling debut explores what happens when we venture into dark places...when we get in over our heads...and when we get lost.
