What to expect

A new novella in the charming Baby Ganesh Agency series.

In a symbolic journey of reconciliation, the Monsoon Express is travelling between hostile neighbours India and Pakistan. The passenger list includes politicians, celebrities, former Mumbai policeman Inspector Chopra and his baby elephant ward Ganesha.

Then a senior diplomat is found murdered in his cabin. Accusations fly, tensions rise, and an international incident seems certain. But is the murder political - or personal?

Tasked to investigate, Chopra has just hours before the train reaches its destination and the news goes public. He must unmask the killer quickly if he's to stop the last journey of the Monsoon Express going entirely off the rails...

Critics Review

  • Praise for the Baby Ganesh series

    -
  • A most beguiling series

    Financial Times
  • I can’t imagine anybody not enjoying this book… the same winning blend of thrills, charm and local colour as Alexander McCall Smith’s The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency.

    Reader's Digest
  • Keeps things heart-warming while tackling corruption at the highest levels and violent crime at the lowest. Endearing and gripping, it sets up Inspector Chopra – and the elephant – for a long series.

    The Sunday Times
  • Delightful.
