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 downward spiral 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. So begins Will's \"journey to the heart of drug-fueled noirness\" (\u003ci\u003eNew York Journal of Books\u003c\/i\u003e). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThere's a world of bad things June could have got mixed up in: the Phnom Penh underworld is in an uproar after a huge drug bust; a local reporter has been murdered in what looks like 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 her diary: an unsettled 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePropulsive, electric, and exotically enthralling, \u003ci\u003eCambodia Noir \u003c\/i\u003e\"has it all: sex, drugs, and mystery\" (\u003ci\u003eMetroUS\u003c\/i\u003e).
