In one of the ten best mysteries of the year ("Seattle Times"),
private investigator Vish Puri becomes embroiled in a high-stakes
mystery involving one of India's most controversial commodities:
love.
When Ram and Tulsi fall in love, the young woman's parents are dead
set against the union. She's from a high-caste family; he's from
the lowest strata of Indian society. Young Tulsi's father locks her
up and promises to hunt down the "loverboy dog." Fortunately,
India's Love Commandos, a real-life group of volunteers dedicated
to helping mixed-caste couples, come to the rescue. But just after
they liberate Tulsi, Ram is mysteriously snatched from his hiding
place.
The task of finding him falls to India's "Most Private
Investigator." Unfortunately, Vish Puri is not having a good month.
He's failed to recover a cache of stolen jewels. His wallet has
been stolen, and he's having to rely on his infuriating Mummy-ji to
get it back. And to top it all, his archrival, investigator Hari
Kumar, is also trying to locate Ram. To reunite the star-crossed
lovers and reclaim his rightful place as India's unchallenged "Most
Private Investigator," Puri and his team of operatives must
infiltrate Ram's village and navigate the caste politics shaped by
millennia-old prejudices.
Critics hailed "The Case of the Deadly Butter Chicken, "the last
installment in the Vish Puri mystery series, as Tarquin Hall's best
yet, saying that each book has "raised the stakes subtly" ("The
Huffington Post"). Now, "once again, India's Most Private
Investigator solves his case with panache" ("Kirkus Reviews").
