The case of the elusive Bombay Duck

The case of the elusive Bombay Duck

Tarquin Hall
Book - 2025

"When Vish Puri, India's Most Private Detective, learns he's won the long-coveted International Detective of the Year award, it's supposed to be a secret. But within hours, it seems all of Delhi knows - and his indomitable Mummy-ji announces she'll be coming with him to the ceremony in London, never mind that she's not been invited. To add to his woes, a senior government bureaucrat gives him an undercover mission he can't refuse. Puri is tasked with tracking down India's most-wanted fugitive: a billionaire pharmaceutical fraudster codenamed Bombay Duck, who's rumoured to be hiding in the British capital. Puri's only spending a week in London . . . and he's already promised his wife he won't work during their once-in-a-lifetime trip. In desperation, he enlists the help of his reluctant nephew Jags and dives headfirst into the case. But can Puri hook the Bombay Duck and bring him to justice - all the while keeping his investigations secret from his wife and meddling mother?" --
