1914, Fiji: Akal Singh, 25, would rather be anywhere but this tropical paradise—or, as he calls it, “this godforsaken island.” After a promising start to his police career in Hong Kong, Akal has been sent to Fiji as punishment for a humiliating professional mistake. Lonely and grumpy, Akal plods through his work and dreams of getting back to Hong Kong or his native India. When an indentured Indian woman goes missing from a sugarcane plantation and Fiji’s newspapers scream “kidnapping,” the inspector-general reluctantly assigns Akal the case. Akal, eager to achieve redemption, agrees—but soon finds himself far more invested than he could have expected. Now not only is he investigating a disappearance, but also confronting the brutal realities of the indentured workers’ existence and the racism of the British colonizers in Fiji—along with his own thorny notions of personhood and caste. Early interrogations of the white plantation owners, Indian indentured laborers, and native Fijians yield only one conclusion: there is far more to this case than meets the eye. Nilima Rao’s sparkling debut mystery offers an unflinching look at the evils of colonialism, even as it brims with wit, vibrant characters, and fascinating historical detail.Ver libro
One night. One secret. One girl who never came back. The island welcomed four wealthy teenagers that week. By midnight, only three remained. Seventeen-year-old Lexi and her rich friends arrive at an adults-only resort in Turks and Caicos, determined to escape their parents—and indulge in sun, sand, and wild nights. But when a playful flirtation at a foam party goes too far, Lexi flees back to her room, certain she’s being followed. Moments later, she vanishes into the darkness of the beach without a trace. Local authorities dismiss her disappearance as teenage drama. But vacationing FBI agent Eva Rae Thomas can’t ignore the chilling details: surveillance footage featuring a notorious millionaire playboy, desperate denials that sound a little too sincere, and a group of privileged friends whose stories don’t quite match. As turquoise waters conceal dark secrets, Eva Rae races to uncover whether Lexi fell prey to a predator—or to something far more personal.Ver libro
There’s trouble afoot in Regency London’s Jewish community, and no one to stop the crimes—until wealthy-widower-turned-sleuth Mr. Ezra Melamed teams up with an unlikely pair: General Well’ngone and the Earl of Gravel Lane, the leaders of a gang of young Jewish pickpockets. David Salomon, a young violinist and composer, has left New York to find fame and fortune in Regency London. But disaster strikes not long after he arrives. A mysterious rival composer is stealing his compositions and having them performed to great acclaim — and when David tries to protest that he is the music’s true creator, he becomes the laughingstock of the beau monde he had hoped to conquer. With few friends and even fewer resources, the desperate Mr. Salomon turns to Ezra Melamed for help with discovering the identity of his shadowy foe. But the deeper Mr. Melamed looks into the violinist’s story the more jarring notes he finds, making The Doppelganger’s Dance one of the most discomposing mysteries of his career. The Doppelganger’s Dance is the second book in the Jewish Regency Mystery series, a refreshingly different look at Regency England which combines lovably quirky characters with a generous dash of humor.Ver libro
