The 5th Book in the Malabar House series
Bombay, 1951. A
political rally ends in tragedy when India's first female police detective,
Persis Wadia, kills a lone gunman as he attempts to assassinate the divisive
new defence minister, a man calling for war with India's new post-Independence
neighbours.
Meanwhile, Persis's colleague, Scotland Yard criminalist Archie Blackfinch,
lies in a hospital fighting for his life as all around him the country tears
itself apart in the 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 City of Destruction.
