Mystery
Meet Vish Puri, Indiaβs most private investigator. Portly, persistent, and unmistakably Punjabi, he cuts a determined swath through modern Indiaβs swindlers, cheats, and murderers. In hot and dusty Delhi, where call centers and malls are changing the ancient fabric of Indian life, Puriβs 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 Puriβs resources to investigate. With his team of undercover operativesβTubelight, Flush, and FacecreamβPuri 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.
