In the gripping new Baby Ganesh Agency novel, Inspector Chopra and his elephant sidekick investigate the death of one of Mumbai's wealthiest citizens, a murder with ramifications for its poorest.

The Parsees are among the oldest, most secretive and most influential communities in the city: respected, envied and sometimes feared.

When prominent industrialist Cyrus Zorabian is murdered on holy ground, his body dumped inside a Tower of Silence - where the Parsee dead are consumed by vultures - the police dismiss it as a random killing. But his daughter is unconvinced.

Chopra, uneasy at entering this world of power and privilege, is soon plagued by doubts about the case.

But murder is murder. And in Mumbai, wealth and corruption go in hand in hand, inextricably linking the lives of both high and low....

I have always loved this authors books. I cherish all of his characters especially Poppy and Ganesh. This is the first time I’ve listened to a book by this author and I absolutely must applaud whoever chose the reader. He is the perfect vehicle for this story. Bravo!

Love the audio

The narrator is absolutely the BOMB! He does an amazing job distinguishing between the different characters. He reads dramatically, when Ganesh touches something with his trunk you can feel it.

The author excelled in this story with amazing characters, catheter man, Mr. Poop, corpse bearers, and the vultures. One of my favorite scenes was when Chopra wakes up his partner who had fallen asleep on his desk. You just have to read/listen to it . . ,chicken bones flying.

I wish they would make this a tv series.

Great mystery! Great characters!

Best Ever

Best one yet in the series! I have seen the Towers of Silence in Mumbai and remember seeing the vultures circling above it. This story added so much more depth of understanding to that experience and was so intriguing!

Loved it!

I have enjoyed the Baby Ganesh series. The mysteries are interesting. But learning about contemporary India keeps me coming back. NHK broadcast a documentary in September 2023 about a photographer protecting Himalayan vultures that migrate to Thailand. And this book presents the similar plight of Indian vultures. Religion, corruption, public health, Mr Khan writes "cozy" mysteries with a real world perspective.

entertaining & informative
