I Shot the Buddha by Colin Cotterill
Siri Paiboun and his wife have never been able to turn away a misfit - they share their house with an assortment of oddballs. One of these oddballs - a Buddhist monk - rides out on his bicycle and never comes back, leaving only a cryptic note in the refrigerator: a plea to help a fellow monk escape across the Mekhong River to Thailand. Naturally, Siri can't turn down the adventure, and soon he and his friends find themselves running afoul of secret service officers and spiritualists.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.
