Throw in an overzealous post-9/11 American Intelligence officer and a corrupt Belgian ex-Colonel, in this fast read of crime and intrigue, chocolates have never tasted so good!

From the Back Cover:

"There is nothing fictional about the Phnom Penh portrayed in the book, complete with heavy traffic, noisy karaoke, prostitution and cut-priced contract killings. And humour is never far off." - The Cambodia Daily "Writer Johan Smits has now stepped into the mystery/suspense fray with Phnom Penh Express... The quirky plotline unfolds at a cracking pace that will drag the willing reader along by the sweet tooth." - The Phnom Penh Post "Phnom Penh Express is in the rare 20 per cent pile of books I finish reading. It's light, entertaining and gave me a chance to see a Phnom Penh I couldn't have imagines." - Colin Cotterill, author of the Dr. Siri Paibonn mystery series
