has been safely housed at Bombay's Asiatic Society. But when it
vanishes, together with the man charged with its care, British scholar
and war hero, John Healy, the case lands on Inspector Persis Wadia's
desk.
Uncovering a series of complex riddles written in verse,
Persis - together with English forensic scientist Archie Blackfinch - is
soon on the trail. But then they discover the first body.
As the
death toll mounts it becomes evident that someone else is also pursuing
this priceless artefact and will stop at nothing to possess it . . .
Harking back to an era of darkness, this second thriller in theMalabar Houseseries pits Persis, once again, against her peers, a changing India, and an evil of limitless intent.
Gripping, immersive, and full of Vaseem Khan's trademark wit, this is historical fiction at its finest.
