Anarchy and Old Dogs. A Dr. Siri Investigation Set in Laos.

Broadway. Soho Press. 2007. Stock ID #216938

272pp. Very good copy in dustjacket.

A blind retired dentist has been run down by a logging truck on the street in Vientiane just opposite the post office. His body is duly delivered to the morgue of Dr. Siri Paiboun, the official and only coroner of Laos. At the age of seventy-four, Dr. Siri is too old to be in awe of the new communist bureaucrats for whom he now works. He identifies the corpse, helped by the letter in the man's pocket. But first he must decipher it; it is written in code and invisible ink.. (Publisher's description)
