The 5th Book in the Malabar House series.
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...
Vaseem Khan was born in London in 1973. He
studied finance at the London School of Economics. He first saw an elephant
lumbering down the middle of the road in 1997 when he arrived in the city of
Mumbai, India to work as a management consultant. This surreal sight inspired
his Baby Ganesh Agency series of 'gritty cosy crime' novels. His aim with the
series is to take readers on a journey to the heart of modern India. He
returned to the UK in 2006 and has since worked at University College London
for the Department of Security and Crime Science. Elephants are third on his
list of passions, first and second being great literature and cricket, not
always in that order. His first book The
Unexpected Inheritance of Inspector Chopra was a Times Bestseller and an
Amazon Best Debut. The second in the series Perplexing
Theft of The Jewel in The Crown won the 2017 Shamus Award for Best Original
Private Investigator Paperback. His latest book in the Malabar House series is Death of A Lesser God, published in 2023.
