A business analyst’s obsession to find out the truth behind a 19th-century tragedy in colonial Bombay has made her one of the most popular mystery writers in the US. Nev March will tell you that such a chase can after all be worth the while. If anything, it will yield a book and a successful one at that.
March, a Parsi, who was raised in Mumbai, and currently lives in New Jersey, is the author of the award-winning novel, Murder in Old Bombay: A Mystery, which was released in the US last year and is now being published by HarperCollins India. That it is finally going to be available in her home city, where a tragic double death in 1891 became the inspiration for her plot, also means that this pursuit has finally come full circle.
