At last a book on Jim Thompson backed by information on his CIA past http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5hQvqBuGLFdzW9aQdSisKYTDEwxYw?docId=8dffbfc26d8e4cdf8ef0d8b19d1ebaf5

I've got the previous "Jim Thompson - Unsolved Mystery" by William Warren, the above promise to provide the solution.

Of course in the skullduggery of international and Thai politics there's always the chance of a bit of embarrassing insight that needs to be banned - so I'll order my copy off shore just incase.

Very interesting...

Thanks for the link

Thanks, that was interesting & enlightening.

No solution, sorry.

"The book provides no new clues about Thompson's vacation walk into a Malaysian jungle in 1967 from which he never returned."

Indeed. No secrets revealed about his dealings with spooks and romantic Asiaphile.. Long been understood.

This Mayalsian connection - lost in the jungle and whatnot.

The mythical tale is told over and again, therefore set in stone.

Remember, by 1967, Malaysia was festering with revolution and insurgencies.
