The Shadow

A RITUAL KILLING. AN ANCIENT CURSE. WHAT'S MYTH... AND WHAT'S MURDER? 
 
'A slick, masterfully plotted, white-knuckle ride of a read,' A.A. CHAUDHURI 
'A highly enjoyable and hugely entertaining read' NILESHA CHAUVET 
 
After a bruising encounter with a terrorist group, Detective Kamil Rahman has resigned from the Met and set up a detective agency with his friend Anjoli. But when his boss asks him to go to India to investigate the murder of a British engineer who was found with eighteen arrows stuck in his body, Kamil agrees to take the case, as long as Anjoli can accompany him. 
 
When they arrive in Mumbai, they find someone is on a gruesome killing spree, striking down those connected to the engineer in increasingly macabre ways. Meanwhile, an old friend of Kamil’s begs for his help breaking the curse he believes his family is under. 
 
As the body count rises, Kamil is torn between solving a very real murder case and protecting his friend from a grisly – if far-fetched – fate. Can he catch a killer and prevent an ancient curse before more people lose their lives?

The plot races to a splendidly dramatic ending; Chowdhury&rsquo;s writing is compelling and compassionate, especially on the themes of displacement, and divided loyalties personal and political.

Chowdhury is brilliant at incidental detail and unexpected plot twists, while highlighting the conflicts experienced by characters with a foot in more than one culture

Ever since I discovered Ajay Chowdhury's wonderful Kamil Rahman detective novels, they have offered a feast of great stories, vivid characters, mouth-watering food and fascinating insight into the world of Bengali Muslims in London's Brick Lane. I love his mix of humane feeling, romantic comedy and very modern plotting. THE SPY is his fourth and most ambitious, tackling trans-continental crime,.and pitting his engagingly modest, emotionally confused and very brave hero against the worst villain yet. He is a pleasure to read.

Nobody writes about modern London like Ajay Chowdhury. This book rings with passion for the city's life, its food, its politics - and above all - its darkness.

An intelligent, immersive thriller absolutely brimming with tension. Ajay Chowdhury&rsquo;s deftness of touch brings both realism and sensitivity to a difficult theme. Superb writing

The 400-odd incident-packed pages pass in a flash

The Kamil &amp; Anjoli crime fiction series from Ajay Chowdhury is bursting with innovative thinking... If you&rsquo;re new to Kamil, what joy for you to have a long &amp; growing series ahead of you

__________________________ 
About the detectives:Kamil has always wanted to be top cop. With a father who reached the position of Police Commissioner of the Calcutta police, what else could he do, other than hanker after an honourable career chasing the bad guys, just like his dad. However, the odds are stacked against him. He's a Muslim in the Met, facing overt and covert racism and he needs to be twice as good as his colleagues to make it. All of this he could cope with, if only his personal life was humming along smoothly.Anjoli is searching, but she doesn't know what for. A high-minded psychologist who is super smart, always restless and naturally empathetic, she is meticulous and often finds connections Kamil has missed. She would love to get deeper into crime solving - possibly even have a go at it full-time but she can't shake the feeling that she is an imposter in a game of let's pretend. Kamil makes her laugh, but she doesn't know why she can't make the leap. Why is she so scared of surrendering her heart to him? Does she not feel deserving of love and adoration? Or does she fear a life where she's always waiting for the other shoe to drop?

Kamil Rahman thought his crimefighting days were behind him. But when a woman he knows is murdered and the police arrest the most convenient suspect, he hangs up his apron and employs his detective skills once more to find the true killer. 
 
Meanwhile, restaurant manager Anjoli is volunteering with a homeless charity, where she notices a sudden troubling increase in unexplained deaths among people sleeping rough in and around Brick Lane. With the council and police uninterested, she starts an investigation of her own. 
 
Kamil and Anjoli's cases seem unrelated, but as the duo dig deeper, they discover connections that stretch from London to Lahore. Together they take on the indifference of the authorities. 
 
If the Met won't find the murderers, then Kamil and Anjoli will. 
 
'A rip-roaring mystery that's engrossing from start to finish... a refreshing and welcome addition to the world of detective fiction' Abir Mukherjee

A real surprise... It is not just the descriptions of food that leave you hungry for more

Thrilling... This is a terrific series, a vivid portrait of the East End where a thriving economy is overshadowed by the effects of inequality

Chowdhury's portrait of multicultural London is as effective as his portrayal of the mixed feelings of his characters, who may enjoy aspects of their lives but still long for the pleasures they have left behind

Kamil and Anjali are a terrific team. Chowdhury makes the murder mystery feel like a brand-new invention. His second thriller is chockfull of authentic flavours and tasty surprises that will leave readers wanting more.

Christopher Fowler, author of the Bryant and May Mysteries

Marvellous! A vivid romp through the Londoner's London, seen through the sharp eyes of a recent arrival. The only thing that induced me to put it down was the fact that it made me so hungry...

The Waiter

Kamil Rahman: Kolkata detective turned Brick Lane waiter has a new case on his hands . . .

A hugely entertaining first novel for lovers of traditional crime fiction, taking us from Kolkata to Brick Lane.  I can't wait to read more about disgraced detective Kamil and his wonderfully drawn companion Anjoli.

Superb... Chowdhury paces the novel like an old hand, juxtaposing chapters set in the East End with flashbacks to Calcutta... [an] outstanding debut

From the mean streets of Kolkata to the kitchens of Brick Lane...this is a rip-roaring mystery that's engrossing from start to finish. In Kamil Rahman, Ajay has created a quixotic and all too human protagonist who is a refreshing and welcome addition to the world of detective fiction. One of my favourite reads of the year.

Abir Mukherjee, author of the Wyndham & Banerjee mysteries

The Waiter is a heady mix of murder, intrigue and all things Indian. Weaving together a dual narrative with aplomb, Ajay Chowdhury's neatly-drawn detective Kamil Rahman relives his failure to solve the murder of a Bollywood A-lister in Kolkata whilst trying to solve the killing of an Indian industrialist in London. Could the two murders be connected? An accomplished crime debut that offers something a little different.

Vaseem Khan, author of the Malabar House Baby Ganesh Agency crime series

An authentic and enthralling debut with an original new lead detective.

The Waiter is beautifully written and gloriously transporting. I really loved the glimpse into life as a Kolkata homicide detective and the vibrant and mouth-watering depiction of the Bengali restaurant trade on London's Brick Lane. Ajay Chowdhury is a refreshingly different voice in the crime genre and I can't wait to read more.

In a swiftly-moving energetic narrative that takes you from the decaying grandeur of Kolkata and the bustle of London's Brick Lane to the outward calm of the stately homes near Hampstead Heath, Ajay Chowdhury weaves a remarkable tale about the unlikely turns the life of police officer Kamil Rahman has taken, as he confronts his past, surrounded by the smells of spices and constant lurking danger.

Kamil Rahman is down on his luck. He's lost his job, smashed his dreams and fled Kolkata for London.  Ajay Chowdhury deftly weaves a tale of two murders, two countries, two times - past and present - and binds them together into a single web of intrigue, money, corruption and death.  He paints a bleak picture but brings it to life with a keen eye for texture, detail and an enticing love of music and good food.  No book as ever made me as hungry as this enjoyable, fast-paced thriller.

[An] accomplished debut...intricately plotted, gripping... This is a sizzler of a crime novel, full of spice and authentic flavour

Chowdhury's accomplished novel moves easily between different cultures, displaying the versatility of contemporary crime fiction

'A rollercoaster read that lifts the lid on the world of tech. Fast and furious - I stayed up all night to finish it.'

'Fuses topical, rogue-tech concerns with classic sci-fi and a pulsating chase adventure. Reminiscent of Michael Crichton, this is a SF technothriller for the AI age'

Set in a near future far too realistic for comfort, this book had me both riveted and scared out of my wits for what awaits us. No one writes about the risks of our shiny AI driven future with the authority and assuredness of Chowdhury. The real genius is wrapping it in such a break-neck story. I’d wager this book will make you think more than any other thriller you read this year. Outstanding.

A first rate thriller that’s both highly tense and deeply thoughtful. Taut and very timely, and written by a man with a real grasp of tech bro culture.

Newlyweds Adam and Aisha are in an airport lounge in Delhi, their honeymoon abruptly cut short by the murder of Adam’s best friend. While Aisha waits, Adam disappears, leaving only a cryptic message: 'I’m sorry'. 
 
Stranded in India without documents, Aisha is interrogated by RAW, India’s intelligence agency, and the FBI – both of whom seem to know more about her husband’s disappearance than she does. 
 
At the same time Adam’s ex-lover, Sara, receives an urgent message from him: 'Help her'. 
 
Thrown together by circumstance and suspicion, Aisha and Sara decode Adam’s clues, which lead them across the US in a hunt to find Adam before it’s too late. 
 
EDEN FALLS is a high-stakes thriller that spans continents and delves into the shady world of AI and tech billionaires. It is a gripping tale of intrigue, weaponised AI and the relentless pursuit of truth.
