The latest volume of Tejas Desai's riveting and acclaimed international crime thriller series The Brotherhood Chronicle will transport you around the world. From the lush beaches of Thailand, to the gritty temples of India, to the criminal underbelly of Australia, the political battles of New York City and the business squabbles of the American South, welcome to The Run and Hide.
Niral Solanke, the awkward private investigator from The Brotherhood, is surviving in a sinister Thai underworld when he receives an assignment that reunites him with the Hindu religious organization The Brotherhood and its new leader Bhai.
What follows is a balance of loyalties, a test of wills, and an examination of trustworthy sources as Niral is plunged into a new set of international mysteries and adventures. Along the way we meet crime lords, financiers, detectives, hired killers, politicians, ascetics, military generals, drug dealers, prostitutes and many others including: Rob Johnson, an Australian killer with special, conflicted loves; Bob Macaday, fresh out of witness protection and hankering for action; Apsara, a beguiling Thai stripper with mysterious motives; Duncan Smith, a diamond merchant caught between career and family; Lance Portman, an African-American custodian mired in the grind of New York City politics; and Detective Nat Sachinkowdon, dedicated to his job but tortured by his past.
These characters and others dance along the wire of order and chaos, deities and doom, in the second volume of this compelling and original multicultural noir thriller series.

If you want a peek at the Asian criminal underworld, this is the book to read."

"The depth of writing here is admirable, the characters are nuanced and fully fleshed out, and the descriptions of the underbelly of the world are uncanny and often mesmerizing. The plot itself is intricate, well formed, and showcases the characters, their morality, their emotions, and ultimately their humanity. Solid book and highly recommend."
