À propos de cet audio

 'Vaseem Khan writes with charm and wit, and an eye for detail that transports the reader entirely. I couldn't love this series more' CHRIS WHITAKER
'Historical fiction at its finest' MAIL ON SUNDAY

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, 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.

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 as all around him the country tears itself apart in the prelude to war...©2024 Vaseem Khan (P)2024 Hodder & Stoughton Limited Fiction policière Historique Roman policier Thrillers et romans à suspense Guerre

I've loved all these novels, but in this one, the main character, Persis, really experiences a lot of personal growth as she inches her way through a very complex mystery. The 'absence' of her sidekick / would be lover Archie leaves her without someone who has her back and with one exception, has to get herself out of the difficult situations she inevitably puts herself in. Good action, historical details and as always, the sights and smells of the city. I really couldn't put this one down.
