The first in a detective series that â€œimmediately joins the No. 1 Ladiesâ€™ Detective Agency as representing the best in international coziesâ€ (Booklist, starred review).

Meet Vish Puri, Indiaâ€™s most private investigator. Portly, persistent, and unmistakably Punjabi, he cuts a determined swath through modern Indiaâ€™s swindlers, cheats, and murderers.

In hot and dusty Delhi, where call centers and malls are changing the ancient fabric of Indian life, Puriâ€™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 Puriâ€™s resources to investigate. With his team of undercover operativesâ€”Tubelight, Flush, and Facecreamâ€”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.
