About the Book:

Times are tough for Samson Ryder, a Melbourne-based Anglo-Indian private investigator with a penchant for cold facts and hot curries. Haunted by the guilt over the death of his sister, Samson has withdrawn from the world around him, severing relationships with his girlfriend, his family, and even his faith.

When a wealthy Indian industrialist hires Samson to investigate the death of his daughter, a rising Bollywood starlet who tragically died during a location shoot in Australia, Samson thinks it’s just a simple case — easy money, and a chance to move on. However, what begins as a straightforward investigation soon becomes a journey of self-discovery and redemption for Samson. In trying to uncover the truth of this young woman’s death, Samson hopes to give her grieving family the answers that he could never provide his own.

To unravel the mystery, Samson returns to Mumbai, the city of his birth, and teams up with Mabel, his interpreter, Godmother, and second-best cook in the world. Together, they dive into the glittering world of Bollywood, where friendships are fleeting, affairs are a form of currency, black magic is all too real, and hidden dangers await at every turn.

As Samson delves deeper into this glamorous yet dangerous industry, the line between truth and illusion begins to blur. Will he uncover the truth behind the Bollywood starlet's death, or will he become the next victim in a world that thrives on secrets, lies, and betrayal?

This thrilling, suspense-filled novel by Patrick Lyons will keep readers on the edge of their seats, with a story that combines mystery, drama, and a glimpse into the darker side of the Bollywood industry.
