In his 12th adventure (after I Shot the Buddha), retired coroner Dr. Siri Paiboun and his wife score a trip to the 1980 Moscow Olympics as medical advisers to the Democratic People's Republic of Laos team. When a team member is accused of murder, Siri must solve the crime under the eye of two mistrustful governments. All the hallmarks of the series are present, including humor, magic realism, and the usual eccentric characters.—ACT
