Fast Eddie's Lucky 7 A-Go-Go

Eddie McDermott is the owner of Fast Eddie’s Lucky 7 A-Go-Go, the most popular nightspot in the northern Thai city of Chiang Mai. For twenty years, Eddie has supplied the ex-pat community with cheap booze, easy women, and memorable nights. After a heart attack nearly kills him, Eddie decides it’s time to make some changes in life. And the first order of business is finding someone to run his bar. <br /> <br />Ray Malone is a middle-aged underdog who has yet to find success in business or love. While he’s never without a plan to see his name in lights or land the prettiest girl in town, he can rarely afford more than a weekend tryst with one of Eddie’s maidens. While most of the girls regard him as just another expat, a dancer named Pim decides he'd make a good catch – especially after her boss offers to sell his bar to him. <br /> <br />While Ray struggles to come up with the money, Pim carries out schemes of her own. Meanwhile, a mysterious stranger intent upon outbidding Ray decides that negotiations would go smoother with Malone out of the picture - permanently. <br /> <br />Reviews: <br /> <br />"An unflinchingly entertaining tale of hard luck cases and their struggles for redemption."
