- Book 1 of 2: Detective Inspector Asoka Murder Mysteries
A British tourist is murdered. How does the Sri Lankan police force investigate this crime when the suspects are British? They bring in Detective Inspector Asoka, of course.
The story is set in the fictional Sri Lankan tourist resort of Puluwala. A tour group visits the beautiful tropical island of Sri Lanka to enjoy a holiday in the sun, sea, and sand, in addition to its innumerable attractions.
Then one of them is murdered. The political pressure is on the police to quickly and expertly solve this rare murder.
Due to his early life travelling with his parents, Detective Inspector Asoka of the Sri Lankan police force is uniquely skilled in tourist-related crimes. So, outwardly, he should be the ideal Senior Investigating Officer.
However, DI Asoka’s mixed reputation follows him everywhere. Some don’t like his off-the-wall investigation methods. His superiors groan at the fallout from his direct approach to suspects, irrespective of rank and status. His peers view him with a mixture of awe and frustration. And his suspects, well, let’s put it mildly, don’t like someone getting the better of them.
The decision is made. He’s the SIO for this case.
Asoka’s PTSD, resulting from images in the past, is straining relations with his beloved family. And now, his leave is cancelled to solve a brutal murder.
To solve this case, Asoka must overcome the prejudice and fear of those he must work alongside.
Supported by Sergeant Nalaka, Asoka navigates the arrogance and dissembling of the British suspects. Only by laying bare their many secrets can he solve this murder before another is committed.
Enjoy the story as it twists and re-twists, pulling the reader on a journey of emotions and culprit discovery.
