RetailIn poverty-stricken 1978 Laos, a man from the city with a truck was “somebody,” a catch for even the prettiest village virgin. The corpse of one of these bucolic beauties turns up in Dr. Siri’s morgue and his curiosity is piqued.

And though the victim had smooth, pale skin over most of her body, her hands and feet were gnarled, callused, and blistered.
