Mystery Private Eye
Murder is no laughing matter. Yet a prominent Indian
scientist dies in a fit of giggles when a Hindu goddess
appears from a mist and plunges a sword into his chest.
The only one laughing now is the main suspect, a
powerful guru named Maharaj Swami, who seems to have done
away with his most vocal critic. Vish Puri, India’s
Most Private Investigator, master of disguise and lover of
all things fried and spicy, doesn’t believe the murder is a
supernatural occurrence, and proving who really killed Dr.
Suresh Jha will require all the detective’s earthly
faculties. To get at the truth, he and his team of
undercover operatives—Facecream, Tubelight, and Flush—travel
from the slum where India’s hereditary magicians must be
persuaded to reveal their secrets to the holy city of
Haridwar on the Ganges. How did the murder weapon
miraculously crumble into ash? Will Maharaj Swami have the
last laugh? And perhaps more important, why is Puri’s wife,
Rumpi, chasing petty criminals with his Mummy-ji when she
should be at home making his rotis? Stopping only to
indulge his ample Punjabi appetite, Puri uncovers a web of
spirituality, science, and sin unique in the annals of crime.
