The Danish ambassador in Bangkok, Franz Heimann, is found murdered in a dubious side street hotel. The Thai police write off the murder as a jealousy murder, committed by Heimann's Thai mistress, and the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs rushes to sweep the embarrassing case under the carpet. A swamped Danish freelance journalist in Bangkok discovers that the case is different. The ambassador's death turns out to be a central piece in a terrorist plot that implicates both the Danish royal family and the US president. A revenge action that has its real cause in the atrocities of the Vietnam War.
The story also gives the reader a unique insight into the Foreign Service, good and bad, as the author himself has experienced it as a diplomat for Denmark.
“Fast paced, epic and fascinating, 'Revenge From Hanoi' is a book that will stay with you long after you've finished reading it.”
Nguyễn Phan Quế Mai, bestselling author of The Mountains Sing.
