Slash and Burn | Colin Cotterill

2 posts | 5 read | 2 to read

The eighth Dr. Siri Paiboun mystery Dr. Siri never really wanted to be Laos s national coroner. And now that he is in his mid-70s, he longs to spend some time with his wife before the untimely death that is sure to befall him, according to the local transvestite fortune-teller. But retirement will have to wait (again) until he has completed one last job for the Lao government: supervising an excavation for the remains of a US fighter pilot who went down in the remote northern Lao jungle ten years earlier. And the stakes are high. The presence of American soldiers in Laos is controversial, and the search party includes high-level politicians and scientists. So when a member of the party is found dead, Dr. Siri suspects it may not have been an accident. Can Dr. Siri get to the bottom of the MIA pilot s mysterious story before the body count rises and the fortune-teller s prediction comes true?"

This is the eighth book in the Dr Siri series set in late 1970s Laos. It was an outstanding entry in the series, with a thrilling plot and very powerful storyline with lots of historical and political insights. I recommend reading the series in order, but this one was my top read of August.

Slash and Burn is the 8th book in the Dr Siri Paiboun series, and I just love these books. This one had the main characters all together on an away mission, working with a group of Americans, which was a fun change of pace. The humor is right up my alley, the mystical element adds a certain eerie flair, and I always enjoy the 1970s Laos setting. Highly recommend!
