About this ebook

'A twisting plot and an intriguing cast of characters, together with vivid glimpses of the vibrant, complex world of post-Independence Bombay - and a narrative that thunders along with the pace and drama of an elephant on the rampage' ANDREW TAYLOR

Bombay, 1950. When the body of a white man is found frozen in the Himalayan foothills near Dehra Dun, he is christened the Ice Man by the national media. Who is he? How long has he been there? Why was he killed?

As Inspector Persis Wadia and Metropolitan Police criminalist Archie Blackfinch investigate the case in Bombay, they uncover a trail left behind by the enigmatic Ice Man - a trail leading directly into the dark heart of conspiracy.

Meanwhile, two new murders grip the city. Is there a serial killer on the loose, targeting Europeans?

'A stunning, richly imagined and downright thrilling mystery' CHRIS WHITAKER
'A peerless portrait of early independent India through the eyes of new crime fiction star, India's first police detective, Persis Wadia' BARBARA NADEL
'The brilliant Persis Wadia is one of the most electrifying figures in crime fiction today' WILLIAM SHAW
'Outstanding' IMRAN MAHMOOD
'A compelling mix of social insight and complex plotting with a thoroughly engaging heroine' MAIL ON SUNDAY
