Publisher Description
Life has taken a funny turn for Siri Paiboun. After years in obscurity, his country needs him. He is to be their only coroner. Because he's the only doctor left.
It's not as flattering as it could be, and when one of the leaders' wives turns up in his hot, shabby, smelly morgue, and he's expected to solve her murder, things take a turn for the worse. He has no experience, training or equipment to speak of, and his only hope are his two trusty assistants - neither of whom know anything either - and his own mental resources.
As if this weren't enough, the tortured bodies of several soldiers start floating to the surface of a lake and this second case is even more politically charged than his first. Only Siri's wit, charm and sense of the ridiculous will get him through this…
Customer Reviews
Encouragingly different and witty
What a stimulant the murder mystery is for writers. Unlawful death happens everywhere, including Laos. Dr Siri has lived beyond his predicted years and no longer gives a toss but does his unwelcome and unfamiliar job the best he can. And, of course, he turns out to be shrewdly capable and restlessly curious. Bravo.
