Description
On the eve of 1950, as Bombay stands at the threshold of a new era, Inspector Persis Wadia is relegated to the overnight shift at Malabar House—the city police’s unwanted outpost and India’s first female detective. When a prominent British diplomat is found murdered, Persis is drawn into a politically charged investigation alongside a visiting Scotland Yard criminalist. Facing institutional prejudice, social upheaval, and powerful interests determined to control the truth, she must rely on her intelligence and resolve to navigate a case far larger than a single crime. Blending atmospheric historical detail with intricate plotting and a fiercely compelling heroine, this richly textured mystery explores ambition, identity, and a nation defining itself.
