Description
Vish Puri, India's most private investigator, cuts a determined swathe through modern India's swindlers, cheats and murderers. In a job once the preserve of aunties and family priests, Puri screens prospective marriage partners. But when an honest public litigator is accused of murdering his maidservant, it takes all of Puri's resources to investigate. The search for the girl, known only as Mary, takes Puri to the desert oasis of Jaipur and the remote mines of Jharkhand. With his team of undercover operatives, Puri combines modern techniques with principles of detection established in India more than two thousand years ago. As Puri's adventures reveal modern India in all its seething complexity, he navigates from his well-heeled Gymkhana Club to the slums where the servant classes live.
