Inspector Singh is irate. He''s been instructed to attend a Commonwealth conference on policing in London: a job for paper pushers, not real cops, as far as he is concerned.And as if that isn''t bad enough, his wife is determined to come along to shop for souvenirs and visit previously unknown relatives. But it isn''t long before the cold case that lands on Singh''s ample lap turns into a hot potato and he has to outwit Scotland Yard, his wife and London''s finest criminals to prevent more frightful executions from occurring on his watch - or indeed, from being added to their number.

Inspector Singh is in a bad mood. He''s been sent from his home in Singapore to Kuala Lumpur to solve a murder that has him stumped. Chelsea Liew - the famous Singaporean model - is on death row for the murder of her ex-husband. She swears she didn''t do it, he thinks she didn''t do it, but no matter how hard he tries to get to the bottom of things, he still arrives back at the same place - that Chelsea''s husband was shot at point blank range, and that Chelsea had the best motivation to pull the trigger: he was taking her kids away from her. Now Inspector Singh must pull out all the stops to crack a crime that could potentially free a beautiful and innocent woman and reunite a mother with her children. There''s just one problem - the Malaysian police refuse to play ball...

Inspector Singh is back, but this time on secondment to Bali. A bomb has exploded and Singh has been sent to help with anti-terrorism efforts. But there''s a slight problem: he knows squat about hunting terrorists. He''s much better suited to solving murder! So when a body is discovered in the wreckage, killed by a bullet before the bomb went off, Singh should be the one to find the answers - especially with the help of a wily Australian copper by his side. But simple murders are never as simple as they seem - and this one has far-reaching global consequences . . .

Inspector Singh is home - and how he wishes he wasn''t.

Fortunately for Singh, there is no rest for the wicked when he is called out to the murder of a senior partner at an international law firm, clubbed to death at his desk. Unfortunately for Singh, there is no shortage of suspects - from the victim''s fellow partners to his wife and ex-wife - or motives, as many of the lawyers have secrets they would kill to protect. And very soon Singh finds himself heading up an investigation that rips apart the fabric of Singapore society and exposes the rotten core beneath. Perhaps coming home wasn''t such a good idea, after all...?

The authorities are determined to write off the incident as a random act of violence, but Singh thinks otherwise. It isn''t long before he finds himself caught up in one of the most terrible murder investigations he''s witnessed - the roots of which lie in the dark depths of the Cambodian killing fields. . .

When a corpse is found, the fat inspector is soon dragged into a curious murder investigation with very firm instructions from Mrs Singh to exonerate her family. But as he uncovers layer upon layer of deceit, he knows it isn''t going to be that easy...
