Summary

The national coroner of Laos, Dr Siri Paiboun, is no respecter of persons or Party; at his advanced age he can afford to be independent. With the assistance of his helpers, the autistic Mr Geung and Nurse Dtui ("Fatty") who has dubbed him "Super Spirit Doc," he elucidates the causes of mysterious deaths. But he also communes with the deposed King whose special channel with the occult has left him, and attends a conference of shamans called by the Communist government to give the spirits an ultimatum: obey Party orders or get out. A wild creature is loose in the city of Vientiane, but only when Dtui is menaced can Dr Siri find the animal â or spirit â that has been killing the innocent

resource.variantTitle
