Description

A priceless manuscript has vanished from Bombay's Asiatic Society, along with its guardian. This theft sets off a chain of events that Inspector Persis Wadia and forensic scientist Archie Blackfinch must unravel. As they delve into the mystery, they discover a series of complex riddles written in verse, which lead them to a trail of bodies. It becomes clear that someone is also pursuing this priceless artefact, willing to stop at nothing to possess it. A gripping historical crime novel with a brilliant female protagonist, The Dying Day pits Persis against her peers, a changing India, and an evil of limitless intent. With its trademark wit and immersive storytelling, this second thriller in the series is a delicious treat for fans of historical fiction and mystery.
