Crime novelist Colin Cotterill is the author of two mystery series, both set in Southeast Asia. His Dr. Siri Paiboun mysteries are set in mid-1970s Laos, while his newest series featuring former crime reporter Jimm Juree is set in contemporary rural Thailand.
The second book in this latter series, Grandad, There's a Head on the Beach (Minotaur Books, June 2012 hardcover and ebook editions) is scheduled to be published later this month and we're delighted to be able to give away, courtesy of the publisher, a copy to one of our readers. See entry details at the bottom of this post.
When Jimm Juree's mother sold the family house and invested in a rundown "holiday camp" at the southern end of Thailand on the Gulf of Siam, the family had little choice but to follow. Jimm Juree, who was well on her way to achieving her goal of becoming the primary crime reporter for the major daily newspaper in Chiang Mai, is less than thrilled to have lost her job as a reporter and to be stuck in the middle of nowhere where little of interest happens. So it is with mixed feelings that she greets the news that a head has washed up on the beach. It's tragic, of course, but this could be the sort of sensational murder that would get her a byline in a major daily and keep her toehold on her journalism career. Now all she has to do is find out who was murdered … and why.
