THE AMBASSADOR'S WIFE (An Inspector Samuel Tay Novel)

  The Author

  Jake Needham is an American screen and television writer who began writing crime novels when he realized he didn’t really like movies and television very much.

  Mr. Needham has lived and worked in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Thailand for over twenty years. He is a lawyer by education and has held a number of significant positions in both the pubic and private sectors where he took part in a lengthy list of international operations he has no intention of telling you about. He, his wife, and their two sons now divide their time between homes in Thailand and the United States.
