Praise for "Curse of the Pogo Stick"
"The adventure among the Hmong reveals Cotterill's real strength .
. . The reason his series continues to be worth reading, is the
author's deep understanding of these people and their beautiful,
troubled land . . . Like Dr. Siri, Colin Cotterill has a touch of
magic about him."
--"Boston Globe"
"Cotterill's approach in "Curse of the Pogo Stick"--so measured and
offhand--actually achieves a remarkable feat: It cuts through all
the never-again media saturation that genocidal regimes often
generate, and it makes us take notice once more. We wind up caring
about Cotterill's characters, because they're mostly either decent
or at least understandably flawed and therefore human. By avoiding
the nastiness and nihilism of noir, they reach a sympathetic,
soulful reality writers rarely pull off."
