The Delightful Life of a Suicide Pilot by Colin Cotterill

The Delightful Life of a Suicide Pilot by Colin Cotterill

Laos, 1981: When an unofficial mailman drops off a bilingual diary, Dr. Siri is intrigued. Half is in Lao, but the other half is in Japanese. It appears to have been written during the Second World War by a kamikaze pilot. To the chagrin of his wife who has to hear him read the diary out loud, Siri embarks on an investigation into the text. He begins to obsess over the diary's abrupt ending ... and the riddle of why it ended up in his hands. Did the pilot ever manage to get off the ground? To find out, he will have to hitch a ride south and uncover some of the darkest secrets of the War.

Colin Cotterill was born in the year 1952 in London. He studied education and worked as a teacher in Israel, Australia, the United States, and Japan before deciding to train teachers in Thailand and along the Burmese border. He spent several years in Laos and developed and produced a language education series for Thai state television. Colin is involved with a variety of social projects, the majority of them are aimed towards children. He founded a book and scholarship program in Laos with his wife, and he also manages a small school for Burmese migrants' children near his home.

Meanwhile, Colin pursues his other two passions: cartooning and writing. He's published almost fifteen books since 2000, including the Dr Siri crime series set in Laos. Colin and his wife live in Chumphon, Thailand, where he rides his bicycle along the shore, decapitates coconuts, eats a lot of squid, plays with his dogs, and sits down to write every now and again.
