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 seventy-two-year-old has an outstanding qualification for the role: curiosity. And he does not mind incurring the wrath of the party?s hierarchy as he unravels mysterious murders, because the spirits of the dead are on his side?and a little too close for comfort more often than he would like.

Canterville Ghost, THE CANTERVILLE GHOST"e;AN AMUSING CHRONICLE OF THE TRIBULATIONS OF THE GHOST OF CANTERVILLE CHASEWHEN HIS ANCESTRAL HALLS BECAME THE HOME OF THE AMERICAN MINISTER TO THE COURT OF ST. JAMESWhen Mr. Hiram B. Otis, the American Minister, bought Canterville Chase, every one told him he was doing a very foolish thing, as there was no doubt at all that the place was haunted. Indeed, Lord Canterville himself, who was a man of the most punctilious honour, had felt it his duty to mention the fact to Mr. Otis when they came to discuss terms."e;We have not cared to live in the place ourselves,"e; said Lord Canterville, "e;since my grandaunt, the Dowager Duchess of Bolton, was frightened into a fit, from which she never really recovered, by two skeleton hands being placed on her shoulders as she was dressing for dinner, and I feel bound to tell you, Mr. Otis, that the ghost has been seen by several living members of my family, as well as by the rector of the parish, the Rev. Augustus Dampier, who is a Fellow of King´s College, Cambridge. After the unfortunate accident to the Duchess, none of our younger servants would stay with us, and Lady Canterville often got very little sleep at night, in consequence of the mysterious noises that came from the corridor and the library."e;"e;My Lord,"e; answered the Minister, "e;I will take the furniture and the ghost at a valuation. I have come from a modern country, where we have everything that money can buy; and with all our spry young fellows painting the Old World red, and carrying off your best actors and prima-donnas, I reckon that if there were such a thing as a ghost in Europe, we´d have it at home in a very short time in one of our public museums, or on the road as a show."e;"e;I fear that the ghost exists,"e; said Lord Canterville, smiling, "e;though it may have resisted the overtures of your enterprising impresarios. It has been well known for three centuries, since 1584 in fact, and always makes its appearance before the death of any member of our family."e;"e;Well, so does the family doctor for that matter, Lord Canterville. But there is no such thing, sir, as a ghost, and I guess the laws of Nature are not going to be suspended for the British aristocracy."e;"e;You are certainly very natural in America,"e; answered Lord Canterville, who did not quite understand Mr. Otis´s last observation, "e;and if you don´t mind a ghost in the house, it is all right. Only you must remember I warned you."e; ePUB, 08.04.2015.

And he does not mind incurring the wrath of the party's hierarchy as he unravels mysterious murders, because the spirits of the dead are on his side-and a little too close for comfort more often than he would 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.
