Publisher's Summary:
Dr. Siri might finally be allowed to retire (again). Although he loves his two morgue assistants, hes tired of being Laos national coroner - a job he never wanted in the first place. Plus, hes pushing 80 and wants to spend some time with his wife before his untimely death, which has been predicted by the local transvestite fortune teller.
But retirement is not in the cards for Dr. Siri after all. Hes dragged into one last job for the Lao government: supervising an excavation for the remains of a US fighter pilot who went down in the remote northern Lao jungle 10 years earlier. The presence of American soldiers in Laos is a hot-button issue for both the Americans and the Lao involved, and the search party includes high-level politicians and scientists.
When a member of the party is found dead, a chain of accidents that Dr. Siri suspects are not completely accidental is set off. Everyone is trapped in a cabin in the jungle, and the bodies are starting to pile up. Can Dr. Siri get to the bottom of the MIA pilots mysterious story before the fortune tellers prediction comes true?
Colin Cotterill was born in London. He has taught in Australia, the United States, and Japan and lived for many years in Laos, where he worked for nongovernmental social-service organizations. He now writes full time and lives in Thailand. His books have been Book Sense Picks, and he won the Dilys Award and a Crime Writers Association Library Dagger for Thirty-Three Teeth.
Critic Reviews:
Praise for the Dr. Siri Paiboun series: A series of terrifically beguiling detective novels steeped in local color and history. (
