The half-child - Angela Savage

Jayne Keeney is an Aussie who has been living in Bangkok for many years; she has been hired to investigate the alleged suicide of a young Australian woman in a seedy Thai coastal town. Maryanne's father refuses to believe she took her own life. Jayne is on the case, navigating the backstreet world of Thai ladyboys and corrupt officials. Maryanne's death is not the only mystery awaiting Jayne among Pattaya's neon signs and go-go bars. While working undercover at the orphanage where Maryanne volunteered, Jayne discovers something far more sinister.
