Product description

From the Publisher

On a recent weekend walking a busy downtown street, I spotted the remnants of the night before: a snag of satin threads on a loose nail and a couple of errant sequins sparkling in front of a popular venue. I imagined laughter, people tripping over each other in excitement to see their favorite band.

But for detectives, those same ephemera might be clues.

What if the person who wore those sequins never made it home? What if they weren’t the only one who had disappeared?

When his girlfriend, Tara Mondal, disappeared more than a decade before, Mumbai Inspector Arnav Singh Rajput had hoped she’d just gone on to a better life. On the surface, he’d moved on—become a successful detective and even a bit of a ladies’ man. But he’d never purged the memory of Tara, and he’d always held out hope. Now, blue sequins—like those Tara was wearing the day she disappeared—are scattered over the shallow graves of brutally murdered women. Are the sequins a coincidence or a calling card?

The Blue Bar is the start of an exciting new series following the unrelenting and appealing Inspector Rajput.

—Jessica Tribble Wells, Editor
