Identification - Adventure Book 1.
Evan could swear he saw a golden Buddha head on the roof and yet, when he brings others back to look, it is not there. He begins to doubt himself, but, bit by bit, begins to suspect that it is linked with suspicious goings-on next door. He persuades a somewhat reluctant friend, Nicholas, to help him sort things out. And the adventure begins . . .
An exotic locale (Bangkok), a mystery, dogs, rats, a parrot and the Chinese millionaire's mansion next door with its Indian guards . . . all make for an interesting and exciting read.
