Description
Private eye and former war reporter, Maier is sent to Cambodia to track down the missing heir to a Hamburg coffee empire.
His search leads him into the darkest corners of the country’s history, through the Killing Fields of the communist revolution, to the White Spider, a Nazi war criminal who reigns over an ancient Khmer temple deep in the jungle.
But the terrifying tale of mass murder that Maier uncovers is far from over. And soon Maier realises that, if he is to prevent more innocent lives from being destroyed, he will have to write the last horrific chapter himself.
The Cambodian Book of the Dead – it’s where Apocalypse Now meets The Beach…
Advance Praise
“The narrative is fast-paced and the frequent action scenes are convincingly written. The smells and sounds of Cambodia are vividly brought to life. Maier is a bold and brave hero.”

Featured Reviews
Stefan F, Reviewer
A well-written and interesting thriller/mystery.
THE CAMBODIAN BOOK OF THE DEAD has an intriguing premise: a German private eye is sent to Cambodia to search for a missing heir to a coffee empire. This made the novel stand out from many others currently available.
Maier is a good protagonist, and a good guide to Cambodia - as a foreigner himself, we get to learn about Cambodia and its history through his eyes and over the course of his investigation. His investigation leads him to learn about the darker moments of the country's history, as well as connections to Nazis, etc.
An interesting read. Recommended if you're looking for something a little different.
