Mystery
Meet Vish Puri, India’s most private investigator.
Portly, persistent, and unmistakably Punjabi, he cuts a
determined swath through modern India’s swindlers, cheats,
and murderers. In hot and dusty Delhi, where call
centers and malls are changing the ancient fabric of
Indian life, Puri’s main work comes from screening
prospective marriage partners, a job once the preserve of
aunties and family priests. But when an honest public
litigator is accused of murdering his maidservant, it
takes all of Puri’s resources to investigate. With his
team of undercover operatives—Tubelight, Flush, and
Facecream—Puri combines modern techniques with principles
of detection established in India more than two thousand
years ago, and reveals modern India in all its seething
complexity.
