Killing Ashish Karve : An Inspector Saralkar Mystery – Salil Desai

Description

AN EDGE-OF-THE-SEAT POLICE PROCEDURAL BY ONE OF THE MOST EXCEPTIONAL CRIME WRITERS IN INDIA: SALIL DESAI
Pune Homicide Unit’s maverick cop Senior Inspector Saralkar is back at his desk after spending a rather annoying week at a ‘Secrets of Living’ course, held especially for police officers, and is itching for some action. Luckily for him, an exciting new case turns up right away.
The body of Ashish Karve, a local businessman, has been found in the back seat of his car, with his wrists slit. To PSI Motkar, Saralkar’s diminutive assistant, it seems to be a straightforward case of suicide. But Saralkar’s sharp mind is agog with the dark possibility of murder.
As the case unfolds, Saralkar finds suspects and motives emerging thick and fast—Ashish’s business partner, his wife, his brother, his friend, his brother-in-law and even a stranger. Then Ashish’s pretty colleague, Suchitra, is strangled to death. As they struggle to sift the truth from lies and half-truths, will Saralkar and Motkar be able to prevent the third murder?
