About the Author

Shamini Flint began her career in law in Malaysia and also worked at an international law firm in Singapore.

Her Inspector Singh novels are published by Little, Brown and have been translated into numerous languages.

Titles include Inspector Singh Investigates: A Most Peculiar Malaysian Murder, Inspector Singh Investigates: A Bali Conspiracy Most Foul and Inspector Singh Investigates: The Singapore School of Villainy.

It's impossible not to warm to the portly, sweating, dishevelled, wheezing Inspector Singh ... The Guardian.
