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.
