The streets of Bangkok are filled with prostitutes
and twenty-somethings longing to experience events
that will leave a lasting impression on their psyche.
These scars become all to real for Richard
where on a remote beach off the coast of Thailand,
he is privy to the ugliness that manifests itself through executions
and indifference to shark attack victims left to die.
What is the beach?
Is it a self-sufficient society living in complete harmony
or is it a secret willing to be kept under any circumstance?
What can be perceived as paradise
is really an incubator for a desperate generation
looking for something to call their own.
This edgy, fast-paced, and sometimes disturbing novel
leaves one wondering
if the
The Lord of the Flies
is really just kids’ play.
