"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, Singh thinks she didn't do it, but Chelsea's husband was shot at point blank range - and she had the best motive - he was taking her kids away from her. Inspector Singh must pull out all the stops to solve the crime, but there's one problem - the Malaysian police refuse to play ball..."--BOOK COVER.
As it says on the tin, a murder mystery set in Malaysia. It is a solid novel, though not necessarily of the kind that will keep you up a night. Then again, I have a soft spot for chubby detectives. I read it on a trip to Singapore and Malaysia, and I recommend it to ignorant people like me looking for a fun way to learn some basic coordinates about these two countries.
