The Edge of Darkness: the warm, witty and utterly addictive cozy mystery with a brilliant female sleuth (The Malabar House Series)

Product Overview & Details

It is 1951, only a few years after Indian independence.

After deliberately disobeying orders from her superiors, Persis Wadia is exiled from Bombay to the remote and mountainous Naga Hills.

Her career is in ruins, and she finds herself stationed far from the city she knows, surrounded by a region experiencing political unrest and an increasingly dangerous insurgency.

Persis is temporarily staying at the crumbling Hotel Victoria, a relic of the colonial era.

Then a shocking murder occurs.

A prominent local politician is found dead inside his locked hotel room—and his head is missing.
