One-Sided Triangle

In Northern Thailand, a region of enchantment and vice, Mike and Brian are waiting for Sarah. She is to bring a new passport for Mike to escape the country. But as soon as Mike has the passport, he seems reluctant to leave - and even more reluctant to pay. Instead, he wants Brian to courier heroin for him to London. Brian needs the financial reward offered, but his flight would go via Singapore where the death penalty awaits those who are caught. Sarah urges him not to accept. Brian goes for a walk to think over his decision. During his absence, the true nature of the game is revealed, and the ending is sad and profound, its implications set to reverberate long after Bria&ngrave;s fate becomes known.

A powerful and tense three hander based on the autho&rgrave;s research while living in Thailand. Although written in the early nineties it is still topical today with themes of greed. morality and do the ends justify the means. Having made his name as a comedy writer this was the first of the autho&rgrave;s equally successful thrillers.
