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. With the Malabar House team tasked to hunt down the assassin's co-conspirators, aided by agents from Britain's MI6 security service, Persis is quickly relegated to the sidelines. But then she is given a second case, the burned body of an unidentified white man found on a Bombay beach. As she pursues both investigations, with and without official sanction, she soon finds herself headed to the country's capital, New Delhi, a city where ancient and modern India openly clash. Meanwhile, Persis's colleague, Scotland Yard criminalist Archie Blackfinch, lies in a hospital fighting for his life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vaseem Khan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56037048648058,"sku":"9781399707695","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0423\/0240\/6809\/files\/9781399707695_12044de9-26fc-435f-8cfa-8aee28d24ff5.jpg?v=1779900451","url":"https:\/\/winstonebooks.pro\/products\/9781399707695","provider":"Winstone's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
