Description

In The Land of Smiles Trilogy, Christopher G. Moore peels back Thailand's serene mask to reveal the human and supernatural forces beneath. In A Bewitching Smile, former schoolteacher Richard Breach leaves Bangkok for the ancient Lanna kingdom, drawn into a world where shamans, gamblers, and foreign dreamers cross dangerous moral boundaries. Searching for ritual knives and a dying friend's truth, Breach becomes entangled with a woman whose beauty conceals a perilous secret. Moore's prose fuses noir psychology with spiritual mystery, tracing how the promise of enlightenment turns seductive—and deadly. A stand-alone novel that bridges Western reason and Eastern belief, A Bewitching Smileaffirms Moore's reputation as a master observer of Southeast Asia's mystic realism.
