'Readers may detect a calculated attempt to charm them, and are advised to yield quickly' Daily Telegraph
Meet Vish Puri, India's most private investigator. Portly, persistent and unmistakably Punjabi, he cuts a determined swathe through modern India's criminal classes.
Ably assisted by his undercover operatives, Tubelight, Flush and Facecream, he ingeniously combines modern techniques with principles of detection established in India more than two thousand years ago -- long before 'that Johnny-come-lately' Sherlock Holmes.
In hot and dusty Delhi, his routine work comes from screening prospective marriage partners. But when lawyer Ajay Kasliwal is accused of killing his maidservant, Puri's resources are properly put to the test. How will he trace the fate of the girl, known only as Mary, in a population of more than one billion? Who is taking pot shots at him and his prize chilli plants? And why is his mother insisting on playing sleuth too, when everyone knows Mummies are not detectives?
The search for Mary takes him to the desert oasis of Jaipur and the remote mines of Jharkhand. From the well-heeled Gymkhana Club to the over-crowded slums, Puri's surprising adventures reveal India in all its complexity.
'Characters don't come any cuddlier than Vish Puri, with his old-fashioned morality and magnificent waxed moustache. Great fun - a seething slice of the sub-continent'' The Times
'Entertaining...If Mma Ramotswe is an African Marple, Vish Puri is an Indian Poirot: an opinionated Punjabi with an ego as great as his girth and a passion for British tailoring, malt whisky and fiery chillies.' Financial Times
'Tautly constructed [and] highly readable ...an amusing, timely whodunit' Guardian
'Promises to be an outstanding series' New Books
