Koh Tao--a small island in the Gulf of Thailand, surrounded by pristine beaches, swathed in sunshine, and a mecca for tourists, divers and backpackers. But "Turtle Island" has its dark side. In 2014, Koh Tao was the site of the brutal double murders of two British backpackers, but theirs weren't the only suspicious backpacker deaths. My name is Suzanne Buchanan. I am the former owner and editor of the Samui Times , a news publication on Koh Samui, and covered the stories of the so-called "backpacker murders" and other suspicious deaths. Although I am a British citizen, because of my investigation and stories, as well as my support for the two Burmese migrant workers sentenced to death for the murders, I had to flee Thailand for my own safety. There is currently an active warrant for my arrest should I return to Thailand, which had been my home for more than twenty years, and I continue to receive death threats. In "THE CURSE OF THE TURTLE" readers can make up their own minds on who is responsible for the murders that so devastated the victims' families. Were the Burmese migrant workers responsible? Or were the powerful, tribal families who run Koh Tao involved? And if so, were they aided by corrupt law enforcement? "I am the father of Christina Annesley who was murdered on Koh Tao in January 2015. I am so pleased that Suzanne is writing this book to expose the lies and corruption that have gone unpunished for so long and to hopefully get some sort of justice for our children and ourselves" --Boyne Annesley "I got together a group of parents who have all lost a child in Thailand, particularly Koh Tao, after my son Ben was killed August 2012. I was contacted by various people one of whom was Suzanne, she gave me support throughout the early stages and has continued for the last 9 years. She wants justice for all of us who had a child murdered on Koh Tao" -- Pat Harrington "Suzanne Buchanan wrote an amazing book about my son, Luke Miller, and the others who have died on Koh Tao. She has put her life on the line to write this powerful story." -- Sara Cotten "Great book. Must read for all those interested in unsolved deaths, crime and Thailand! I loved this book by Suzanne Buchanan and couldn't put it down. I use to live in Thailand and this book uncovers the dark side of Thailand that few know about. She writes insightfully and her arguments and analysis is spot on. She's also one very brave lady who has come forward to tell her story and that of others." -- Ruth Millington - Award-winning writer, podcaster and adventure traveller
