Vish Puri is a private detective in India. he is hired to find out what happened to a servant who disappeared when Ajay Kasliwal, her former boss, is accused of killing her. Puri is also investigating the fiance of a renowned generals granddaughter and trying to figure out who shot at him. I enjoyed this book more than the other one I read in the series. Less boring cricket details and more humor than the third book in the series.
