Laos, 1979: Dr. Siri Paiboun, the twice retired ex-National Coroner of Laos receives an unmarked package in the mail. Inside is a hand woven pha-sin, a colourful traditional skirt. A lovely present, but who sent it to him? And, more importantly, why is there a severed human finger stitched into the sin's lining? Siri finagles a trip up north to the province where the sin was made, not realising he is embarking on a deadly scavenger hunt.

I enjoyed this more than the previous novel in the series as Siri gets more involved in things this time, despite being ill.

Mailed to another bookcrosser via the wishlist tag game.

Thank you so much! I enjoy this series a lot, glad to get the 10th book :-)
I wish there was such a series set in Nepal...

Just what I expected, a nice entertaining read with some background information on Lao history. The book will come with me to Oslo soon....

Released on the book buffet
at the Bookcrossing Convention in Oslo
- or elsewhere in Oslo during the release walk.
Happy reading!

Till now, I have only read the first aventure of Dr Siri Paiboun...

I ll' try to improve my English reading it.
