The Heat by Sean O'Leary

Jake is a loner who works nights in a Darwin motel and lives at the YMCA. He's in love with Angel, a Thai prostitute who works out of the low-rent Shark Motel.

A vicious murder turns Jake's life into a nightmare. He must fight for his life on the heat-soaked streets of Darwin and Bangkok in the wet season to get revenge, and to get his life back.
