This book, from India, has such a wonderful sense of place and culture, partially due to the "tone" of the writing, which is beautifully lyrical.
From the Blurb:
The mysterious and alluring Pramila, resident of Avantika Heights, is brutally murdered. Sudhir Das, the security guard from the Golden Red Security Agency, is caught red-handed.
In steps Sudhir's boss, young Orko Deb, the hesitant avenger.
His cautious sleuthing, all over Kolkata, throws up more questions than answers.
Who is Pramila?
Was the National Bank involved in money laundering?
Or was it simply a crime passionnel?
And who robbed the jeweler's store?
Then the media frenzy begins and Golden Red is like a deer in the headlights. The police take charge and Orko lies low.
Until he is arrested.
