Dalla seconda/terza di copertina:

Dr Siri's wife, the famous Madame Daeng, has a dark and complex past. Until now, it's been a well-kept secret. But that's about to change. The French government has declassified documents concerning their ignominious defeat at Dien Bien Phu. Madame Daeng's background, so closely tied up with that struggle, is about to be revealed, leaving Dr Siri's wife dangerously vulnerable. But when our intrepid coroner whisks her away for a romantic weekend, they encounter another threat. For Dr Siri falls under the spell of someone they call the Used-To-Be Woman. A woman who has been shot twice, but is still alive. Is she a ghost? A witch? Dr Siri must keep his wits about him like never before to unravel this mystery. At the same time he has his work cut out keeping Madame Daeng out of reach of those who want to harm her.
