From the award-winning author of MIDNIGHT AT MALABAR HOUSE and THE LOST MAN OF BOMBAY comes a brilliant new mystery featuring the inimitable Persis Wadia.
Bombay, 1950. A political rally ends in tragedy when Persis kills a lone gunman as he attempts to assassinate India’s divisive Home Minister, a man calling for war with neighbouring Pakistan. With the Malabar House team tasked to hunt down his co-conspirators, Persis is given a second case when the burned body of an unidentified white man is found on a Bombay beach. Meanwhile, Scotland Yard criminalist Archie Blackfinch, lies in a hospital fighting for his life, as all around him the country tears itself apart as a prelude to war… Praise for the Malabar House series:‘Great stuff’ MAIL ON SUNDAY ‘Vaseem Khan writes with charm and wit, and an eye for detail that transports the reader entirely.
