*A Nail Through the Heart* by Timothy Hallinan (http://www.timothyhallinan.com/index.html) introduces Poke Rafferty, a "rough-travel" writer who has settled in Bangkok with a former go-go dancer named Rose, whom he's trying to marry, and an eight-year-old street child named Miaow, whom he wants to adopt. His Looking for Trouble books (Looking for Trouble in Indonesia, Looking for Trouble in the Philippines, and Looking for Trouble in Thailand) are designed for travelers who want to go beyond the temples and tourist traps and experience life at street level – including the streets no travel guide ever mentions. Writing these books requires skills that come in handy when life in Bangkok gets rough for Poke, as it frequently does.http://www.kobobooks.com/ebook/-Nail-Through-The-Heart-With/book-y1OiYNsgG0OEL-nhXs08Qg/page1.htmlFirst book of a series
