The seventh novel in the witty, wily Inspector Singh series

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Inspector Singh Investigates: A Frightfully English Execution finds Inspector Singh in a foul mood. He's been instructed to attend a Commonwealth conference on policing in London—an assignment he views as suitable for paper pushers, not real cops.

To make matters worse, his wife is determined to join him, eager to shop for souvenirs and connect with previously unknown relatives.

However, the cold case that lands on Singh's ample lap soon becomes a hot potato. He must outsmart Scotland Yard, pacify his wife, and navigate London's most notorious criminals to prevent more frightful executions from happening, or indeed, from becoming a victim himself.
