Description

'A twisting plot and an intriguing cast of characters, together with vivid glimpses of the vibrant, complex world of post-Independence Bombay - and a narrative that thunders along with the pace and drama of an elephant on the rampage' ANDREW TAYLOR

Bombay, 1950. When the body of a white man is found frozen in the Himalayan foothills near Dehra Dun, he is christened the Ice Man by the national media. Who is he? How long has he been there? Why was he killed?

As Inspector Persis Wadia and Metropolitan Police criminalist Archie Blackfinch investigate the case in Bombay, they uncover a trail left behind by the enigmatic Ice Man - a trail leading directly into the dark heart of conspiracy.

Meanwhile, two new murders grip the city. Is there a serial killer on the loose, targeting Europeans?

'A stunning, richly imagined and downright thrilling mystery' CHRIS WHITAKER

    Persis is one of the most annoying characters I have ever come across in genre fiction. I keep hoping that she'll grow up. So why to I continue to read? Mainly for the history and local color, which I find gripping.

    When I think Vaseem Khan can’t possibly equal the “killer” book I’ve just finished, he writes another that should join it on the NY Times Best Seller’s List. The strength and depth of his characters, the amazing atmosphere, adding cultural and historical nuance, and the purposeful writing are a gift to his readers. More please!
