A Carousel is a fairground ride that takes you round in circles... and brings you back to where you started. And the Bangkok Carousel? A never-ending ride to find a girl to get me over Kodi. But no matter who - or what - or where I found one, the Bangkok Carousel always carried me back towards Kodi. So who was Kodi? Easy answer: Kodi was the only girl I really wanted. What happened?

But by the time they'd started the man-hunt, Zakrov and his crew had long-since vanished into the Golden Triangle... Forget all that. Zakrov and his crew would have to wait for another day. Right now, it was time for me to vanish into the green, green hills of Glen Rowan and decide how best to fix that heroin-pushing Romanian. But then my cell-phone purred with an incoming text message.
