Murder is no laughing matter.
Yet a prominent Indian scientist dies in a fit of giggles when a Hindu goddess appears from a mist and plunges a sword into his chest.
� � � The only one laughing now is the main suspect, a powerful guru named Maharaj Swami, who seems to have done away with his most vocal critic.
� � � Vish Puri, India�s Most Private Investigator, master of disguise and lover of all things fried and spicy, doesn�t believe the murder is a supernatural occurrence, and proving who really killed Dr. Suresh Jha will require all the detective�s earthly faculties. To get at the truth, he and his team of undercover operatives � Facecream, Tubelight, and Flush � travel from the slum where India�s hereditary magicians must be persuaded to reveal their secrets to the holy city of Haridwar on the Ganges.
� � � How did the murder weapon miraculously crumble into ash? Will Maharaj Swami have the last laugh? And perhaps more important, why is Puri�s wife, Rumpi, chasing petty criminals with his Mummy-ji when she should be at home making his rotis?
� � � Stopping only to indulge his ample Punjabi appetite, Puri uncovers a web of spirituality, science, and sin unique in the annals of crime.
