1920s India: Perveen Mistry, Bombay's only female lawyer, is investigating a suspicious will on behalf of three Muslim widows living in full purdah when the case takes a turn toward the murderous. The author of the Agatha and Macavity Award–winning Rei Shimura novels brings us an atmospheric new historical mystery with a captivating heroine. This Deluxe Edition features: an interview with the author, discussion questions, essays on the real-life inspirations behind the novel, delicious recipes taken from the story, and previews of The Satapur Moonstone (May 2019). Perveen Mistry, the daughter of a respected Zoroastrian family, has just joined her father's law firm, becoming one of the first female lawyers in India. Armed with a legal education from Oxford, Perveen also has a tragic personal history that makes women's legal rights especially important to her. Mistry Law has been appointed to execute the will of Mr. Omar Farid, a wealthy Muslim mill owner who has left three widows behind. But as Perveen examines the paperwork, she notices something strange: all three of the wives have signed over their full inheritance to a charity. What will they live on? Perveen is suspicious, especially since one of the widows has signed her form with an X—meaning she probably couldn't even read the document. The Farid widows live in full purdah—in strict seclusion, never leaving the women's quarters or speaking to any men. Are they being taken advantage of by an unscrupulous guardian? Perveen tries to investigate, and realizes her instincts were correct when tensions escalate to murder. Now it is her responsibility to figure out what really happened on Malabar Hill, and to ensure that no innocent women or children are in further danger. Inspired in part by the woman who made history as India's first female attorney, The Widows of Malabar Hill is a richly wrought story of multicultural 1920s Bombay as well as the debut of a sharp new sleuth.

Bombay’s first female lawyer, Perveen Mistry, is compelled to bring justice to the family of a murdered female Parsi student just as Bombay’s streets erupt in riots to protest British colonial rule. Sujata Massey is back with this third installment to the Agatha and Mary Higgins Clark Award-winning series set in 1920s Bombay. November 1921. Edward VIII, Prince of Wales and future ruler of India, is arriving in Bombay to begin a fourmonth tour. The Indian subcontinent is chafing under British rule, and Bombay solicitor Perveen Mistry isn’t surprised when local unrest over the royal arrival spirals into riots. But she’s horrified by the death of Freny Cuttingmaster, an eighteen-year-old female Parsi student, who falls from a second-floor gallery just as the prince’s grand procession is passing by her college. Freny had come for a legal consultation just days before her death, and what she confided makes Perveen suspicious that her death was not an accident. Feeling guilty for failing to have helped Freny in life, Perveen steps forward to assist Freny’s family in the fraught dealings of the coroner’s inquest. When Freny’s death appears suspicious, Perveen knows she can’t rest until she sees justice done. But Bombay is erupting: as armed British secret service march the streets, rioters attack anyone with perceived British connections, and desperate shopkeepers destroy their own wares so they will not be targets of racial violence. Can Perveen help a suffering family when her own is in danger?

The highly anticipated follow-up to the critically acclaimed novel The Widows of Malabar Hill. India, 1922: It is rainy season in the lush, remote Sahyadri mountains, where the princely state of Satapur is tucked away. A curse seems to have fallen upon Satapur’s royal family, whose maharaja died of a sudden illness shortly before his teenage son was struck down in a tragic hunting accident. The state is now ruled by an agent of the British Raj on behalf of Satapur’s two maharanis, the dowager queen and her daughter-in-law. The royal ladies are in a dispute over the education of the young crown prince, and a lawyer’s counsel is required. However, the maharanis live in purdah and do not speak to men. Just one person can help them: Perveen Mistry, Bombay’s only female lawyer. Perveen is determined to bring peace to the royal house and make a sound recommendation for the young prince’s future, but she arrives to find that the Satapur palace is full of cold-blooded power plays and ancient vendettas. Too late, she realizes she has walked into a trap. But whose? And how can she protect the royal children from the palace’s deadly curse?

La première avocate de Bombay mène l'enquête ! Années 1920, Inde. Perveen Mistry vient de rejoindre le cabinet d'avocats de son père, devenant la toute première femme avocate en Inde, un statut qui ne manque pas de faire débat. Mais quand un meurtre est commis dans une riche maison musulmane pratiquant la purdah (séparation stricte des femmes et des hommes) elle est la seule à pouvoir mener l'enquête. En effet, les seules survivantes - et potentielles témoins du crime - sont les trois veuves du riche marchand, vivant recluses dans une partie de la maison interdite aux hommes. Seule Perveen peut comprendre ce qui s’est réellement passé à Malabar Hill... Une enquête passionnante, qui nous plonge au cœur de la société indienne du début du XXe siècle et de la place qu'y occupent les femmes. "Perveen Mistry a tout pour plaire, dont une propension peu surprenante - mais résolument bienvenue - à se fourrer dans les affaires des autres. C’est un véritable page-turner !" – The Globe and Mail Une romancière saluée par la critique et de nombreux prix. Sujata Massey est née en Angleterre de parents indiens et allemands. Elle a été élevée principalement à St. Paul, dans le Minnesota, et vit à Baltimore, dans le Maryland.

Bombay’s only female solicitor, Perveen Mistry, grapples with class divisions, sexism, and complex family dynamics as she seeks justice for a mistreated young woman in this thrilling fourth installment in Sujata Massey’s award-winning series. India, 1922: Perveen Mistry is the only female lawyer in Bombay, a city where child mortality is high, birth control is unavailable and very few women have ever seen a doctor. Perveen is attending a lavish fundraiser for a new women’s hospital specializing in maternal health issues when she witnesses an accident. The grandson of an influential Gujarati businessman catches fire—but a servant, his young ayah, Sunanda, rushes to save him, selflessly putting herself in harm’s way. Later, Perveen learns that Sunanda, who’s still ailing from her burns, has been arrested on trumped-up charges made by a man who doesn’t seem to exist. Perveen cannot stand by while Sunanda languishes in jail with no hope of justice. She takes Sunanda as a client, even inviting her to live at the Mistry home in Bombay’s Dadar Parsi colony. But the joint family household is already full of tension. Perveen’s father worries about their law firm taking so much personal responsibility for a client, and her brother and sister-in-law are struggling to cope with their new baby. Perveen herself is going through personal turmoil as she navigates a taboo relationship with a handsome former civil service officer. When the hospital’s chief donor dies suddenly, Miriam Penkar, a Jewish-Indian obstetrician, and Sunanda become suspects. Perveen’s original case spirals into a complex investigation taking her into the Gujarati strongholds of Kalbadevi and Ghatkopar, and up the coast to Juhu Beach, where a decadent nawab lives with his Australian trophy wife. Then a second fire erupts, and Perveen realizes how much is at stake. Has someone powerful framed Sunanda to cover up another crime? Will Perveen be able to prove Sunanda’s innocence without endangering her own family?

India, novembre 1921. Per le strade di Bombay infuria la protesta contro l’arrivo in città del principe Edoardo, l’erede al trono d’Inghilterra destinato a reggere anche le sorti del subcontinente indiano. Non appena la sfarzosa parata di accoglienza allestita dal governo locale termina, e il corteo con il principe si allontana, la protesta non violenta indetta da Mohandas Gandhi sfocia in scontri feroci. Perveen Mistry, prima donna avvocato di Bombay, professionista fiera e appassionata, assiste agli incidenti senza sorprendersi piú di tanto. Il popolo in India soffre da tempo il giogo inglese e l’arrivo di Edoardo, principe di Galles ma non certo di Bombay, è come un getto di benzina sulle braci di una rivolta inevitabile. Sotto le tribune del Woodburn, Perveen scorge, a un certo punto, un corpo senza vita. Una tragica fatalità, a prima vista, una ragazza forse scivolata dal balcone di un edificio. Quando però Perveen si avvicina e scopre che la giovane è Freny Cuttingmaster, studentessa diciottenne che, appena il giorno prima, le ha chiesto come gli alunni del Woodburn College potessero boicottare la parata senza subire gravi conseguenze legali, il suo cuore sobbalza, come se volesse uscirle dal petto. Perché non ha dedicato alla ragazza l’attenzione che meritava? Perché non la ha trattenuta piú a lungo? Nascondeva forse altri timori, per rivolgersi a lei? Nei giorni successivi, l’indagine su quella morte inaccettabile si rivela tutt’altro che semplice: a Bombay dilaga la rivolta e i ribelli attaccano chiunque sembri avere un legame con la Corona. In particolare chi, come Perveen, ha tutto l’aspetto di una donna sola e indifesa. Per giungere alla verità stavolta saranno necessari coraggio e determinazione inusitati. Nuovo capitolo delle inchieste di Perveen Mistry, Il principe di Bombay è una storia di indipendenza e di ribellione, che mette in luce la forza e la passione di una straordinaria, e ostinata, eroina. «Perveen Mistry è una delle protagoniste piú incantevoli e appassionate che possiate mai trovare in un romanzo». New York Journal of Books «Eccezionale. Sujata Massey al suo meglio». Publishers Weekly «Perveen, la nostra eroina, è molto piú che una Miss Marple in sari... Deliziosa». Kate Quinn
