Six and a Half Deadly Sins by Colin Cotterill

Six and a Half Deadly Sins by Colin Cotterill

Laos, 1979: Dr. Siri Paiboun, the twice retired ex-National Coroner of Laos, receives an unmarked package in the mail. Inside is a handwoven pha sin, a colorful traditional skirt worn in northern Laos. A lovely present, but who sent it to him, and why? And, more importantly, why is there a severed human finger stitched into the sin's lining? Siri is convinced someone is trying to send him a message and won't let the matter rest until he's figured it out.

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.
