THE UNEXPECTED INHERITANCE OF INSPECTOR CHOPRA

First book in this charming detective series that features an aging Inspector and his unlikely sidekick: a baby Indian elephant. The action is set in modern-day Mumbai, where India’s booming economy is at odds with the corruption and prejudice of the caste system.

Inspector Ashwin Chopra is a well-respected, incorruptible police officer forced into early retirement and uncertain of what the future will hold. But on his last day two events change everything: the arrival of elephant Ganesha – a bequest from his uncle – and a murder that no one else wants to acknowledge. Determined to see justice done on his final case, Chopra decides to investigate.

Author Vaseem Khan spent ten years living in Mumbai and is now working for University College London’s Department of Security and Crime Science, a job which has given him regular contact with police and criminal investigations.
