Terry Fernandez is a musician on the run. His friends have just been killed on the night of his bachelor party. He thinks he's next – and he suspects the Minister of Education.

Ning Somprasong is a Thai hooker who normally keeps herself out of trouble. But one night, she bites off more than she can chew and ends up with a bag of ill-gotten US$18 million – and many pursuers.

Terry and Ning have to team up to save their own lives. The madcap chase through the streets of Kuala Lumpur also feature: a taxi driver who’s fond of conspiracy theories; a CIA agent; a terrorist on a mission to wipe out infidels; an opportunistic journalist; a crooked cop; and a pimp called Fellatio Lim who is just about to discover what his name means.

DEVIL'S PLACE is a cult Malaysian novel about terrorism, prostitution, politics and other funny stuff.
