THE DELIGHTFUL LIFE OF A SUICIDE PILOT - COLIN ...

After 15 cunning  mischievous  heartbreaking  hilarious  eye-opening  and atmospheric
installments  Colin Cotterill's award-winning Dr. Siri Paiboun series comes to a close. Make
sure you don't miss this last chapter  a deliciously clever puzzle that illuminates the history
of World War II in Southeast Asia. Laos  1981: When an unofficial mailman drops off a strange
bilingual diary  Dr. Siri is intrigued. Half is in Lao  but the other half is in Japanese 
which no one Siri knows can read  it appears to have been written during the Second World War.
Most mysterious of all  it comes with a note stapled to it: Dr. Siri  we need your help most
urgently. But who is we  and why have they left no return address? To the chagrin of his wife
and friends  who have to hear him read the diary out loud  Siri embarks on an investigation by
examining the text. Though the journal was apparently written by a kamikaze pilot  it is
surprisingly dull. Twenty pages in  no one has died  and the pilot never mentions any combat at
all. Despite these shortcomings  Siri begins to obsess over the diary's abrupt ending . . . and
the riddle of why it found its way into his hands. Did the kamikaze pilot ever manage to get
off the ground? To find out  he and Madame Daeng will have to hitch a ride south and uncover
some of the darkest secrets of the Second World War.
