All three novels are 'Dr. Siri Paiboun Mysteries' set in Laos. Quirky characters! Dr. Siri Paiboun is pulled out of retirement at the age of 72 by the new Communist government of Laos to become National Coroner. Though he is dubious and his medical background does not qualify him for the job, his new position allows him to identify murder victims. All three novels for $15.00 (one hardcover, two softcover) .
