We are delighted to announce that we have signed the fourth book in C V Chauhan’s Inspector Sharma Thrillers: page-turning police procedurals set in Leicester and packed full of suspense.
Here, C V Chauhan tells us what to expect from the latest instalment:
“The plot for the fourth book in the series, A Grave Mistake, is set in motion when a young South Asian man’s body is discovered in Leicester’s historic Welford Road Cemetery, laid out on the grave of Thomas Cook, the travel agent. The body shows signs of surgical intervention: a long scar, expertly stitched. When pathologist Dr Nasreen Khan performs the post-mortem, she discovers a syringe containing a cryptic note addressed to Detective Inspector Sharma inside the body.
“So starts a fast-paced thriller which takes DI Sharma and his team across Leicestershire and further afield as they delve into the sinister world of organised crime and human trafficking.
“A Grave Mistake is more than a police procedural; it is about contemporary British society. It explores issues of immigration, racism, the exploitation of vulnerable people, and the challenges of policing in a diverse, urban environment. The novel also delves into the personal cost of police work, the importance of family, and the resilience required to confront both external and internal demons. This book, as with the previous three in the series, reflects my deep affection for the city of Leicester and its diverse communities.
“I am delighted that Sapere Books have offered me the opportunity to continue writing the DI Sharma series. I couldn’t have done it without their support and encouragement, as well as all the people who enjoy reading my books.”
