Private Dancer

Often described as the best book ever written about the Bangkok bar scene, Private Dancer has been a huge hit around the world as a downloadable e-book. According to Leather, the e-book has been downloaded from the author’s website over 60,000 times in more than forty countries. “I have been getting dozens of emails a week asking for the novel to be published, as most people seem to prefer a book they can hold, and put on their shelves,” explains Leather. “Now that the whole bar scene here is changing, it seemed a good time to finally publish a hard copy.” The novel is set in Thailand in 1996. Pete, a young travel writer, wanders into a Bangkok bar and meets the love of his life. Pete thinks that Joy is the girl of his dreams: young, stunningly pretty, and one of the top-earning go-go dancers in Nana Plaza. What follows is a roller-coaster ride of sex, drugs, lies and murder, as Pete discovers that his very own private dancer is not all that she claims to be. And that far from being the girl of his dreams, Joy is his own personal nightmare.
