We're all used to reading Stephen Leather books and enjoying the crime drama and mysteries he evokes. No matter which of his books we've read, we've come to expect this master of modern day fiction to give us the best. Then he decides to write his first-ever erotica story. Huh? Okaaayyy...I started in reading this story with a slight bit of trepidation, I mean, c'mon, someone as good as Leather can't excel in all genres of storytelling, right? Even Arthur Conan Doyle with writing Sherlock Holmes stories proved he didn't understand the American western genre when he began one story in the American west (worst intro to a SH story I ever read), but I was pleasantly surprised when Stephen Leather's erotica built the story perfectly and led into a natural setup. As the story developed and the protagonist worked his way through Bangkok hookers and into the hotel room of a woman who wanted more than anything to be the star of a gang bang effort all night long, this story quickly proved that Mr. Leather knew how to slant his stories in order to write a successful piece of erotica as well. Sure, there wasn't as much in-depth detail in the sexual intercourse department, but it wasn't necessary in this tale of erotic fantasy.My only criticism? A little short for my tastes, but the story itself lacked in no detail of imagination or hard-core erotica.
