Dr. Siri Paiboun, reluctant national coroner of the People’s Democratic Republic of Laos, is summoned to a remote location in the
 mountains of Huaphan Province, where for years the leaders of the current government had hidden out in caves, waiting to assume power.
 Now, as a major celebration of the new regime is scheduled to take place, an arm is found protruding from the concrete walk that had 
been laid from the President’s former cave hideout to his new house beneath the cliffs. Dr. Siri is ordered to supervise the disinterment
 of the body attached to the arm, identify the corpse and discover how he died.
The autopsy provides some surprises but it is his gift as a shaman that enables the seventy-two-year old doctor to discover why the victim
 was buried alive and, eventually, the identity of his killer.
