Given its subject, this book could have been good. A young woman goes to Cambodia to find and lay claim to a set of scrolls that shed light on the mystery of the collapse of the Khmer empire and thereby resurrect her status within the world of curators/tomb robbers. At the request of her dying friend and sponsor, she takes along a drug-addict/revolutionary; and two men who are the women's love interests and who have reasons of their own for finding the scrolls. If I were to enumerate the ways that this over-written, under-edited book failed, this posting would be as tedious and irksome as the book itself.
