All is not as it seems when Father Ananda is summoned by the Buddhist authorities in Bangkok to investigate an odd case of suspected suicide in a rural temple in Sara Buri. A young nun's gruesome death in a crocodile pit at the temple's Buddhist theme park sets off an inexplicable chain of events that places Ananda and his novice Jak in grave danger. Determined to expose the secrets hidden in this famous monastic community, Ananda fights powerful vested interests in this second episode of the Father Ananda mystery series.

“Wilgus, a 10-year resident of the Realm and Bangkok Post staffer, has a good fix on temple boys, the precepts of Buddhism, the jaundiced eye with which the populace regards the constabulary.” — Bernard Trink, Bangkok Post[/i]
