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 even 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 ended up in 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 to Thailand and uncover some of the darkest secrets of the Second World War"-- $c Provided by publisher. 610 10 $a Paiboun, Siri, $c Doctor (Fictitious character) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $z Southeast Asia $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Laos $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Thailand $v Fiction. 650 7 $a FICTION / Mystery & Detective / General. $2 bisacsh 651 7 $a Laos. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210322 651 7 $a Southeast Asia. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01240499 651 7 $a Thailand. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205310 648 7 $a 1939-1945 $2 fast 655 7 $a Detective and mystery fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726581 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Detective and mystery fiction. $2 lcgft 800 1 $a Cotterill, Colin. $t Dr. Siri Paiboun mystery ; $v 15. 941 $a 10 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417015335.0 952 $l GKPC851 $d 20230228021048.0 952 $l SIPD314 $d 20230201021723.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909060831.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722063433.0 952 $l VKPE334 $d 20201204011721.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20200730010535.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20200702010333.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20200701010218.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20200610030136.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4AFB8A30AAE011EAB9A2E32697128E48 994 $a Z0 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
