A special episode: Anna speaks with author Vaseem Khan about his new crime novel CITY OF DESTRUCTION.

This is the fifth in the Malabar House series set in 1950s Bombay after Partition. Persis Wadia is India’s first female police detective and is sent to work in Malabar House. In CITY OF DESTRUCTION, a gunman attempts to assassinate the Defence Minister at a political rally and Persis shoots him dead. The Minister wants war with Pakistan, MI6 agents are involved and Persis is sent to investigate another case. An intriguing mystery set against the backdrop of India’s history and written with warmth and wit. We loved it!

Vaseem recommends these crime series:

The Wyndham and Banerjee series by Abir Mukherjee

The Bernie Gunther series by Philip Kerr

Vaseem’s upcoming books are GIRL IN CELL A and QUANTUM OF MENACE, the first in a new series featuring Q from the James Bond franchise.

Coming up: OUR EVENINGS by Alan Hollinghurst
