The Really High Tea

Sub-Inspector Vasanth Nair is in deep. Up to his neck.

Nair should have listened to his parents. He should have stayed at home instead of joining the Kerala Police. It's not working out.

Nair's boss, Inspector Kurien, is lazy and corrupt. And he hates Nair. Because Nair doesn't know how to shut up. Or keep his head down.

The yoga-loving, pure vegetarian Nair is made for action. And action is his downfall.

It begins with an outbreak of delirious dancing amongst guests attending the fabulous Saturday afternoon High Tea at a luxurious 5-star hotel.

It progresses as a mad chase across the coastal city of Cochin, from waterfront, to beach, to warehouse. 

There is subterfuge, conspiracy, criminality and chaos.

All to answer the question of what made the High Tea quite so high?

This standalone novella is a prequel to 2022 Page Turner Award finalist 'The Tender Coconut Tamasha' by Joe Chacko.
