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 Silenceβwhere the Parsee dead are consumed by vulturesβthe 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 hand in hand, inextricably linking the lives of both high and low...
Bad Day at the Vulture Club takes the reader into this fascinating world, where tradition and modernity collide, and where the powerful are often shielded from justice.
