Описание: Now featuring mouthwatering recipes from the Vish Puri family kitchen, this installment in Tarquin Halls mystery series offers a taste of India alongside the thrill of a rich and fulfilling whodunit mystery.

Dubbed a wonderfully engaging P.I. (The Times, London), Tarquin Halls irresistible protagonist Vish Puri has become an international favorite through a series that splendidly evokes the color and bustle of Delhi and the tang of contemporary India (Seattle Times). Now the gormandizing, spectacularly mustachioed sleuth finds himself facing down his greatest fears in an explosive case involving the Indian and Pakistani mafias.

When the elderly father of a top Pakistani cricketer playing in a new multimillion-dollar cricket league dies frothing at the mouth during a post-match dinner, its not a simple case of Delhi Belly. His butter chicken has been poisoned. To solve the case, Puri must penetrate the regions organized crime, following a trail that leads deep into Pakistan--the country in which many members of the P.I.s family were massacred during the 1947 partition of India. The last piece of the puzzle, however, turns up closer to home when Puri learns of the one person who can identify the killer. Unfortunately it is the one person in the world with whom he has sworn never to work: his Mummy-ji.

With riotously entertaining prose, a boisterous cast of characters, and a pitch-perfect sense of place, Tarquin Hall has crafted a gripping whodunit that takes us deep into Indian history and society. He brings a hugely appealing culture to life with all its sights, sounds, smells, foods, and complexity. As the title implies, The Case of the Deadly Butter Chicken is a succulent read by a writer at the top of his game.
