The Coroner's Lunch by Colin Cotterill
Laos, 1978: Dr. Siri Paiboun, a 72-year-old medical doctor, has unwillingly been appointed the national coroner of the new socialist Laos. His lab is underfunded, his boss is incompetent, and his support staff is quirky, to say the least. But Siri's sense of humor gets him through his often frustrating days. When the body of the wife of a prominent politician comes through his morgue, Siri has reason to suspect the woman has been murdered. To get to the truth, Siri and his team face government secrets, spying neighbors, victim hauntings, Hmong shamans, botched romances, and other deadly dangers. Somehow, Siri must figure out a way to balance the will of the party and the will of the dead.Colin Cotterill was born in the year 1952 in London. He studied education and worked as a teacher in Israel, Australia, the United States, and Japan before deciding to train teachers in Thailand and along the Burmese border. He spent several years in Laos and developed and produced a language education series for Thai state television. Colin is involved with a variety of social projects, the majority of them are aimed towards children. He founded a book and scholarship program in Laos with his wife, and he also manages a small school for Burmese migrants' children near his home.
Meanwhile, Colin pursues his other two passions: cartooning and writing. He's published almost fifteen books since 2000, including the Dr Siri crime series set in Laos. Colin and his wife live in Chumphon, Thailand, where he rides his bicycle along the shore, decapitates coconuts, eats a lot of squid, plays with his dogs, and sits down to write every now and again.
