Team Bangkok: Hearts on Ice takes place in Thailand, Cambodia, and Burma in the early 2000s. Milo, a Green Beret and retired US Intelligence officer from the Vietnam War and Pol Pot years, runs a restaurant with his Thai Chef wife in the Soi Rangnam section of Bangkok. But when his sixth sense warns him that kidney-transplant tourism—banned in Thailand though often overlooked—might take a darker turn, he notifies the UN. A traffic accident reveals ghastly cargo and proves him right: someone is selling stolen hearts to wealthy western patients. The UN directs Milo to form a team to find out who is behind the deadly trade but limits his options to pursue the criminals. Using wits, high tech, imagination, Muay Thai skills, and unlikely allies, Milo and his eclectic team take on a multinational criminal enterprise preying on political prisoners.
