Description: Gary Griswold, cheerily dim gadfly scion of Albany old money, late of the Key West artists colony, goes missing, and his ex-wife wants to know what's happened to him-- not to mention his 38 million dollars in cash. Turns out that religious dilettante Gary and his money have disappeared in to Thailand, where corruption has its own etiquette. Soon, Albany's only gay PI, Don Strachey, is out of his element, and his lover Timmy is way out of his comfort zone as the comb the Land of Smiles for a man with an unerring weakness to the poorest choice possible and a daft plan to buy 38 million dollars worth of good karma.
