A woman is found dead in her Bangkok home-killed by a Deathstalker scorpion, one of the world’s deadliest creatures and a species not native to Thailand. Police call it a tragic accident. Detective Choo doesn’t buy it.
As Choo digs deeper, he uncovers a chilling truth: several unexplained deaths, quietly ruled natural causes, all connected by a rare venom that leaves almost no trace. The investigation pulls him into Bangkok’s underworld, a popular café hiding dark secrets, and a respected family with far more to lose than they’re willing to admit.
Blocked at every turn, Choo is forced into an uneasy partnership with veteran detective Jonny Chen-a man with dangerous connections and his own agenda. Together, they race to stop a killer who believes poison is the perfect weapon.
Fast-paced, atmospheric, and meticulously plotted, Death Stalker delivers international intrigue, forensic suspense, and a relentless hunt for the truth-proving that some murders are designed to look natural... until it’s too late.
