Jim Thompson

Jim Thompson was already a legend when he disappeared in the Cameron Highlands of Malaysia on Easter Day, 1967. Founder of the modern Thai silk industry, he used his fortune to build a house and art collection that remain among Bangkok's top tourist destinations. Despite a massive search and long investigation, no trace of Thompson has ever been found. William Warren was a friend of Jim Thompson, and has written several books about his legacy and the mystery of his disappearance. This book, revised in 1998 with new information on his private life and background in the wartime US intelligence services, is a page-turning account of this enduring mystery.
