Features: Christopher G. Moor was born in Vancouver, Canada, in 1955. He graduated from the renowned University of Oxford and later taught law at universities in Canada and the UK. In 1988, he went to Thailand to write a novel, where the smiling country gave him endless creative inspiration and rich material. To date, he has created and published 15 novels. Among them, "Ghost House" and "Cold Strike" have been translated into German, Japanese, and Chinese. Last year, he was named Thailand's most productive best-selling author, having lived in Thailand for 14 years. Thai mainstream media praised him by saying: "If you only have time to read one book by a foreign author depicting Southeast Asian scenery, Christopher G. Moor's books are undoubtedly the choice." Canada's "Globe and Mail" called him "Hemingway of Bangkok." In the two noir detective novels "Cold Strike" and "Ghost House," Christopher G. Moor leads readers to fully experience how the protagonist—a private investigator named Carlino—portrays a 20th-century Holmes. The main features of these two books are: modern and sensitive topics, involving cross-border smuggling, drug trafficking, and sex. Full of suspense, interwoven, and enigmatic. Tight and brilliant reasoning, sharp and witty language, and witty prose. Cold and tough style.
