Description
Meet Inspector Shanti de Silva, the new chief of police in Nuala, a sleepy town in the beautiful tea country of colonial Ceylon. He moved from the big city in search of a quiet life, but now that he's faced with the suspicious death of an arrogant plantation owner, it looks like Nuala won't be as peaceful as he'd hoped. He's going to need all his experience to unravel the mystery and prove his worth to his new British boss.A vintage-style mystery set in the 1930s, spiced with colourful characters and a dash of humour. "I can imagine sitting out on the veranda sipping iced tea in the sweltering heat but with a constant reminder of the wilder side of Ceylon just over the other side of the high garden fence. Just stunning!" Books from Dusk till Dawn "Clever plotting, sharply defined characters and luscious description make this a hugely enjoyable read. I look forward to volume 2". Ros Carne Author of The Pupil and The Stepmother

About the Author
Harriet Steel grew up in London and Wiltshire but now lives in Surrey. Married with two daughters, she has worked in fields from law to libraries. Her interests are travel, history and art, all of which have inspired the four historical novels she wrote before turning to crime with The Inspector de Silva Mysteries. She reads widely, but in the mystery genre is particularly fond of vintage mysteries. She would love to go back in time for a day and have lunch with Hercule Poirot, tea with Miss Marple, and dinner at the Ritz with Lord Peter Wimsey.
