Join us for a fascinating conversation with authors Vaseem Khan and Harini Nagendra about their books, the vibrant Indian cities featured among the pages and how the political climate plays into their stories. A search for answers kicks off in Khan’s The Lost Man of Bombay when a man is found frozen in the Himalayan foothills. Set in the 1950s, the story unfolds against the backdrop of post-colonial India, a nation struggling to redefine itself in the shadow of the British Raj. Nagendra’s acclaimed new mystery series kicks off with The Bangalore Detectives Club, set at a garden party in 1920s Bangalore and featuring Sari-wearing detective Kaveri. Kaveri puts her strong sense of justice and talents to use when a vulnerable woman is connected to a murder.
