The Tailor Of Giripul

Then a dead body is found in the village, and everyone jumps into the fray to solve the murder. From the headman's third wife and his Chinese hairdresser - mistress, to Shankar the fisherman-turned-sleuth, Lala the teashop owner and Lala's ex-contract killer cook, and a travelling magician - each one is a murder suspect. Will the tailor of Giripul solve the murder? Redolent with the smells and sounds of a village buried in another time, this is a novel about an India we rarely read about.
