...researching his first Dr. Siri mystery, 2004's The Coroner's Lunch, Cotterill had little to go on. Historical accounts from the mid-1970s proved sketchy at best (and, as it happened, Laos had no actual chief coroner to consult).

After a huge increase in 2006 - 65%, some of which is attributed to the video Bumfights, in which people who live on the street are pitted against one another - last year still saw an increase of 13%.
