Thirty-Three Teeth : A Dr Siri Murder Mystery

Dr. Siri Paiboun, one of the last doctors left in Laos after the Communist takeover, has been drafted to be national coroner. He is untrained for the job, but this independent 72-year-old has an outstanding qualification for it: curiosity. And he doesn & rsquo;t mind incurring the wrath of the Party hierarchy as he unravels mysterious murders, because the spirits of the dead are on his side & mdash;and a little too close by his side more often than he & rsquo;d like. With the help of his newly-appointed secretary, the ambitious and shrewd Dtui, and Mr. Geung, the Down-Syndrome-afflicted morgue assistant, Dr. Paiboun performs autopsies and begins to solve the mysteries relating to a series of deaths by what seem to be bear bites, to explain why the government official ran at full speed through a seventh story window and fell to his death and to discover the origins of the two charred bodies from the crashed helicopter in the temple at Luang Prabang. As it turns out, not surprisingly, not all is peaceful and calm in the new Communist paradise of Laos.

  • "The reluctant national coroner of Laos, Dr. Siri Paiboun, is no respecter of persons or Party; at the age of seventy-two he can afford to be independent. With the assistance of his helpers - Mr. Geung, a mentally challenged lab technician, and Nurse Dtui - he continues to elucidate the causes of mysterious deaths and defy the Communist government bureaucracy."@en
  • "Dr Siri Paiboun has rather enjoyed his first five months in office. Now, as hot-season nights close in, Siri is spirited away from Laos' steamy capital on a Matter of National Security. Arriving in Luang Prabang, he's a busy man, examining carbonized corpses, dining with the deposed king and being rescued by the ghost of an elephant."
  • "A Luang Prabang, Siri converse avec le roi déchu qui croit avoir perdu son royaume parce que la communication avec l'au-delà s'est interrompue. Il assiste à une conférence de chamans convoqués par le gouvernement qui donne un ultimatum aux esprits : se plier aux directives du nouveau régime ou s'exiler. Des cadavres mutilés arrivent à la morgue de Siri... Une nouvelle enquête du docteur Siri."
  • "Dr. Siri Paiboun, the national coroner of Laos, continues to elucidate the causes of mysterious deaths and defy the incumbent Communist government bureaucracy."
  • "With a great sense of fun and a lively, loveable cast of characters, Thirty-Three Teeth will delight fans of The Coroner's Lunch. Laos, 1977. Something wild and evil has been let loose in the city of Vientiane. But is the killer man or beast? It'll take all the coronial team's powers to crack this gruesome mystery."@en
