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.”

Congratulations to C. V. Chauhan, whose heart-pounding thriller, The Right Time To Die, is out now!
The Right Time To Die is the third book in the Inspector Sharma Thriller series: gritty urban police procedurals set in Leicester.
DI Sharma is caught in a lethal race against time…
Tensions are running high in the city of Leicester. Recent conflict between groups of Hindu and Muslim youths has led to violence on the streets, which the police are struggling to control.
Despite these events, Sunil Kumar, a Bollywood superstar has been invited to switch on the lights along the Golden Mile for the festival of Diwali.
DI Rohan Sharma is one of the thousands of onlookers that have arrived to enjoy the celebrations.
But Sharma is aware of social media tip-offs that suggest the happy atmosphere could turn deadly…
And his suspicions seem to be confirmed when Sunil Kumar collapses on stage.
With the police chiefs mistakenly believing Sharma could have inside knowledge on the local hostilities, he takes the lead on the investigation.
But when a spate of killings occur, in seemingly unrelated circumstances, Sharma finds himself in over his head.
Sucked into a dark world of race hate and extremism, Sharma uncovers a deadly plot.
Can he stop more murders from occurring? Will he unmask the fanatical killers?
Or will a catastrophe engulf the city of Leicester…?
