Six and a Half Deadly Sins
Six and a Half Deadly Sins | Colin Cotterill
1 post | 1 read | 3 to read
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. He finagles a trip up north to the province where the "sin" was made, not realizing he is embarking on a deadly scavenger hunt. Meanwhile, the northern Lao border is about to erupt into violence and Dr. Siri and his entourage are walking right into the heart of the conflict."

Light, quirky and sprinkled with facts about Vietnam, Laos and Thailand where the author lives. Just what I needed right now.
