"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?"-- --Amazon.com.

Review of 'Six and a half deadly sins' on 'LibraryThing'

No rating

Dr. Siri finds a bone sewn into a traditional skirt made in the far north of Laos and his curiosity takes him to a spot where nobody has noticed that the Chinese have invaded. These books mix gentle humor and a general disdain for pompous officialdom with insight into a part of the world bruised by other country's global ambitions that we know too little about. What gems these books are. Full review at Reviewing the Evidence.
