Laundry Man — Jake Needham

"LAUNDRY MAN becomes a crazed ride of financial misconduct, dirty money, and misuse of power as Jack Shepherd's investigations draw him into a twisted conspiracy involving Burmese drug traffickers, American intelligence agencies, and the Chinese military.” - The Malaysia Star

“Jack
Shepherd is a first-person narrator who is cool, funny, and good company.” - International Noir Fiction

Jack Shepherd was once a high-flying Washington lawyer, a member of the innermost circles of American political power, and a man acclaimed as a genius at detecting and stopping international money laundering. Now he's abandoned the savage politics of Washington for the lethargic backwater of Bangkok, where he is just an unremarkable professor at an unimportant university in an insignificant city. Or is he?

A secretive Asian bank collapses under dubious circumstances and a former law partner Shepherd thought was dead reveals himself as the force behind the disgraced bank.

Coerced into helping his former law partner track the hundreds of millions of dollars that disappeared in the collapse, Shepherd follows a twisting trail that leads from Manila to Hong Kong to Bangkok and eventually to an isolated villa on the island of Phuket where he uncovers a monstrous game of international treachery.

A lawyer among people who laugh at the law, a friend in a land where today's allies are tomorrow's fugitives, Jack Shepherd confronts a global tide of corruption, extortion, and murder that threatens to destroy the new life he has made for himself in Thailand and drag him back to a world he thought he had put forever behind him.
