Description

Inspector Singh is in Cambodia - wishing he wasn't. He's been sent as an observer to the international war crimes tribunal in Phnom Penh, the latest effort by his superiors to ensure that he is anywhere except in Singapore. But for the first time the fat Sikh inspector is on the verge of losing his appetite when a key member of the tribunal is murdered in cold blood. The authorities are determined to write off the incident as a random act of violence, but Singh thinks otherwise. It isn't long before he finds himself caught up in one of the most terrible murder investigations he's witnessed - the roots of which lie in the dark depths of the Cambodian killing fields...

Reviews

Shamini Flint's style is engaging and well-adapted to the various rhythms of the story. . . The plot and characters are complex and interesting. There are quite a few twists and turns and the outcome is not obvious. The story unfolds smoothly and keeps the reader captive until the very end.
