Description
When an elderly Pakistani visitor dies at a Delhi banquet after eating poisoned butter chicken, private investigator Vish Puri is drawn into a case far more dangerous than food poisoning. His investigation takes him through the shadowy world of illegal gambling and into the painful history of Partition, forcing him to confront threats that reach across borders and generations. As the trail leads unexpectedly close to home, Puri must set aside a long-standing personal vow and join forces with his formidable mother, blending sharp detection with family friction and wry humor. Set against the vivid, chaotic backdrop of contemporary India, this entertaining mystery explores loyalty, memory, and the complicated ties between past and present.
