The Case of the Deadly Butter Chicken

ebook
"These books are little gems. They are beautifully written, amusing, and intensely readable." —Alexander McCall Smith, author of The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency

Long-held secrets, deadly lies, a sports scandal, and a poisoned helping of butter chicken—all in a day's work for the head of India's Most Private Investigators, in this latest book in the delightful Vish Puri detective series. When the father of a Pakistani star cricket player falls dead during a glamorous India Premier League dinner, clearly it isn't just a case of Delhi Belly. But which of the VIPs at the victim's table is responsible for poisoning the man's butter chicken? And was the victim killed for his involvement with a gambling syndicate that controls cricket's illegal billion-dollar betting industry? The answers seem to lie across the border in Pakistan—the one country Puri swore he would never set foot in. Or do they? For Puri's beloved Mummy-ji, who has a unique insight into the killing, believes there is much more to this murder than meets the eye. Puri and Mummy-ji's search for the truth will lead them to uncover decades-old secrets and tragedies thought best forgotten in their most compelling case yet.
