A forgotten kingdom, an abandoned pyramid, and a stolen priceless artifact, it sounds like the setting for an electrifying adventure – and it is – but what we’re talking about today is the true story of Cambodia’s modern history.

Caleb Andrew joins me. He’s an author, lawyer, and world traveler whose archaeological thrillers bring hidden histories to life. Growing up in Cambodia and living across Botswana, South Africa, Switzerland, and the Netherlands, he weaves his global experiences into pulse-pounding adventures—like The Koh Ker Conspiracy, which we’re talking about today.

Takeaways:

  • The intricate history of Cambodia, and its evolution over decades.
  • Artifact smuggling and its historical implications in Cambodia.
  • We discuss the transformative experiences of living in Cambodia and how it shapes their writing.
  • Why is Cambodia's rich history often overshadowed by more prominent ancient cultures like Greece and Egypt?

A missing Picasso... A master thief... A thrilling race against time!

When a priceless Picasso disappears in Paris, legendary thief Bernard Moreau is the prime suspect. But as two unlikely allies—Eden Black and Adriana Villa—hunt him down, the chase turns deadly. It’s a race through the shadowed streets of Paris, where every twist is as unpredictable as the city itself.
