Book Description
The aftermath of the Vietnamese liberation of Cambodia sets the stage for a chilling pursuit of justice. In the refugee camps along the Thai border, a ruthless killer is targeting young girls. Decades later, a series of similar crimes in Phnom Penh awakens painful memories for the Minister of the Interior, whose sister was a victim. Determined to find answers, he assigns his trusted investigator, Chamreun, to join forces with Sophie Chang, a seasoned police officer returning from Boston. Together, they delve into the past while racing against time to solve the murders. As Interpol links the Asian crimes to unsolved killings in Europe, Chamreun and Sophie's investigation takes an unexpected turn. Amidst the unfolding horror, their own connection deepens, forging an unbreakable bond. Through the chilling perspective of the killer's diary and their relentless pursuit of truth, "Angkor Cloth, Angkor Gold" delves into a web of forgotten victims, haunting secrets, and the enduring fight for justice. Will Chamreun and Sophie unmask the killer, or will the victims remain forgotten, denied their rightful closure?

Book Description
Cambodia, An ancient Kingdom of Wonder.After the devastation of the Khmer Rouge regime, hundreds of thousands of refugees - victims and Khmer Rouge soldiers - flee into Thailand as the Vietnamese invade Cambodian in 1979. In the disorder of one refugee camp, a killer targets young women. But with so much chaos in the camps, nothing is done and no-one seems to care. With many refugees expatriated to France, the killer is among them, and continues to strike, in Paris and across Europe. Three decades later, and two murders in Phnom Penh have the same modus operandi as those previous deaths. Could it be the same killer? Can Brigadier General Chamreun and Lieutenant Sophie Chang discover the murderer's identity before they claim another victim?

Book Description
The temples of Angkor are one the world's most impressive archaeological treasures. The extensive network of ancient temples in Cambodia - a magical world of carved gods, weathered masonry, tangled vegetation and orange-robed monks, so long off-limits to Western visitors - are evocatively presented in Steve McCurry's unique style. An introduction by John Guy - an authority on the cultural history of Southeast Asia - provides an informative introduction to the history and architecture of the site and also explains its religious history and modern usage.

Book Description
"The Civilization of Angkor is remarkable and unique in that it delves into the prehistoric roots of the civilization. Higham is THE international authority on southeast Asian archaeology, and presents an up-to-date and provocative synthesis of Angkor."--Brian Fagan, author of Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations, and co-editor of The Oxford Companion to Archaeology. "In blending archaeological and documentary data to chronicle the rise of this important Southeast Asian state, Higham's rich history of Angkor effectively refutes traditional models of state development in the Mekong region and offers insights regarding the nature of Angkor and the processes that led to its emergence."--Miriam Stark, Associate Professor of Anthropology, University of Hawai'i and editor of The Archaeology of Social Boundaries
