Into the Leopard's Den

Amateur sleuth Kaveri Murthy returns in her most complex and gripping historical mystery yet, taking readers from the colonial bungalows of 1922 Bangalore to the mist-enshrouded coffee estates of Coorg, by acclaimed author Harini Nagendra!

About the Book: Bangalore, 1922: Heavily pregnant and confined to the house by her overprotective mother-in-law, Kaveri Murthy has resolved to take a much-needed break from detective work. But when an elderly woman is brutally murdered at night shortly after asking for Kaveri's help, she cannot refuse the call. Seeking justice—and eager to reunite with her husband working in the hills—Kaveri sets off for the lush mountains of Coorg, only to step right into a thorny thicket of danger. A ghost leopard prowls the dark forests, someone is desperately trying to kill Colonel Boyd (the infamous Coffee King of Coorg), and suspects lurk behind every coffee bush. When two vulnerable children appeal for her help, the stakes rise even higher as a single murder spirals into multiple deaths. The Bangalore Detectives Club must unmask a brutally intelligent killer before they strike once more.
