Anarchy and Old Dogs by Colin Cotterill 272 pp.
This is the fourth book in the Dr. Siri Paiboun. The latest arrival at the morgue is a blind man who was run down by a truck. While trying to discover the man's identity, a cryptic coded message is discovered. Upon deciphering the message, with the help of an old friend, Siri sets out to prevent an overthrow of the government from within its own ranks with another good friend, Civilai. His devoted morgue assistant Nurse Dtui goes undercover and returns with unexpected news. At the urging for Nurse Dtui, Dr. Siri makes multiple visits to the transvestite fortune teller, Auntie Bpoo, who provides comic relief. In spite of the serious nature of the events, this series packs lots of humor into its pages.
