Publisher Description
The first in a fun, topical London-based detective series, currently in development as a TV series set to star Sendhil Ramamurthy (Heroes).
The clients are high-profile. The problems need to stay under cover.
Golden Sentinels is on the case...
Ravi Chandra Singh is the last person you'd expect to become a private detective. He's been a religious scholar and a teacher, and now he works for Golden Sentinels, an upmarket London PI agency. His colleagues are a band of gleefully amoral and brilliant screw-ups, prepared to cut any corners to get the job done - as long as they don't get caught.
The rich, famous and powerful want him to make their problems go away, but the cases are becoming increasingly bizarre. There's the MP visited at night by his dead girlfriend, a banker who thinks her company wants to kill her, the bestselling author under attack by internet trolls... None of it helped by the visions he's been having of Hindu gods.
As Ravi struggles to stay ahead of danger, he wonders if the things he's seeing are a delusion - or if he might, in fact, be an agent of chaos for all those around him...
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Tantimedh's episodic first novel, a trilogy launch, takes the reader on an exhilarating roller-coaster ride of unusual cases. Ravi Singh, a religious-studies dropout and failed teacher who's on the hook for his mother's gambling debts, is employed at the London office of the Golden Sentinels Private Investigations Agency. Working with other social misfits hired to discreetly resolve issues in any way necessary for clients willing to pay well, Ravi is tasked with finding the ghost having sex with a high-ranking politician. Ravi's success brings on visions of Hindu gods. Helping a runaway bride, or outing an online troll who's bashing an author, is hard work with Lord Vishnu looking on. As the cases become more intense, more gods appear to Ravi. When investment bankers start dying, a new client hires the agency to save her. Ravi eventually begins to grasp that there's more to his employer and himself than he first realized. Those who enjoy mysteries with a touch of fantasy will welcome this auspicious debut.
