On the day of his retirement, Inspector Ashwin Chopra inherits two unexpected mysteries.
The first is the case of a drowned boy, whose suspicious death no one seems to want solved.
And the second is a baby elephant.
As his search for clues takes him across the teeming city of Mumbai, from its grand high rises to its sprawling slums and deep into its
murky underworld, Chopra begins to suspect that there may be a great deal more to both his last
case and his new ward than he thought.
And he soon learns that when the going gets tough, a determined elephant may be exactly
what an honest man needs . . .
The first novel in a joyful new mystery series, perfect for fans of Alexander
McCall Smith and Rachel Joyce.

Vaseem Khan first saw an elephant lumbering down the middle of the road in 1997 when he arrived in India to work as a management
consultant. It was the most unusual thing he had ever encountered and served as the inspiration
behind his series of crime novels.
He returned to the UK in 2006 and now works at University College London for the Department
of Security and Crime Science where he is astonished on a daily basis by the way modern
science is being employed to tackle crime. Elephants are third on his list of passions, first and second being great literature and cricket,
not always in that order.
