Tarquin Hall

Opis

Meet an unforgettable sleuth - Vish Puri, managing director of Most Private Investigators Ltd, Delhi. Cutting a determined swathe through contemporary India's swindlers, cheats and murderers, Vish Puri has a moustache to rival Hercule Poirot, and methods that resemble Sherlock Holmes.

Recenzje

The most original detective in years. Picture Hercule Poirot with an Indian accent, eating chili pakoras and riding in an auto rickshaw. Tarquin Hall has captured India in a way few Western writers have managed since Kipling. India's humor, commotion and vibrancy bursts from every page, exposing its vast, labyrinthine underbelly. Scintillating! Tahir Shah, author of The Caliph's House
