Lalli returns in this brilliant page-turner, a collection of seven stories, to solve some of the strangest, most complex cases of her career.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe opening act, in which a face keeps reappearing until a crime committed long ago is revealed, is followed by a murder that could be hypothetical--or a reality (Lalli turns to Schrodinger's Cat to find out). In the third act in this unfolding drama, Lalli and Sita are invited to a book-burning which turns out to be murder most foul. And Lalli turns her skills to the world of high fashion when Sita sits next to a serial killer on a bus--but was he killer or victim?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe aptly named Sucide Point in Bombay's suburbs, leads Lalli to a suicide that turns out to be something far more sinister. And an innocuous desk ornament is the clue to a crime most artistically executed. Finally, for connoisseurs of fiction, the curtains come down with a threnody for lost love.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kalpana Swaminathan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9386582961\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789386582966\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Speaking Tiger Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/10\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 226\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.81h x 5.06w x 0.48d","brand":"Kalpana Swaminathan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48487186170111,"sku":"9789386582966","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e354d946-6ca6-4b4d-b7ee-29505568d69e.jpg?v=1778058896","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/murder-in-seven-acts-kalpana-swaminathan-9789386582966","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
