Description
Summary:"When new bride Kaveri Murthy reluctantly agrees to investigate a minor crime to please her domineering mother-in-law--during the blood moon eclipse, no less--she doesn't expect, once again, to stumble upon a murder. With anti-British sentiment on the rise, a charismatic religious leader growing in influence, and the fight for women's suffrage gaining steam, Bangalore is turning out to be a far more dangerous and treacherous place than Kaveri ever imagined--and everyone's motives are suspect. Together with the Bangalore Detectives Club--a mixed bag of street urchins, nosy neighbors, an ex-prostitute, and a policeman's wife-- Kaveri once again sleuths in her sari and hunts for clues in her beloved 1920s Ford. But when her life is suddenly put in danger, Kaveri realizes that she might be getting uncomfortably close to the truth. So she must now draw on her wits and find the killer . . . before they find her"--Page 4 of cover.
