Our man in Laos

Laos, 2003: the refuge of Willy Winkle, an English art student turned bullion robber. With just thirty days to go to bring Winkle to British justice for a thirty-year old crime, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in London needs a deniable proxy to root him out. Who better to do the job than a 21st century reincarnation from 16th century Lan Xang Hom Khao, the land of a million elephants and white parasols.
