The Unexpected Inheritance of Inspector Chopra

Vaseem Khan

A genuine mystery, a likeable hero, colourful characters and locations plus a baby elephant. What more could anyone want to make life seem suddenly a whole lot better?

Extract

The driver, who had not been born yesterday, was instantly suspicious. 'If you are a policeman,' he said, 'why do you have an elephant?'
'It is a police elephant,' said Chopra.
'Pull the other one, sahib,' said the man. 'The police don't have elephants.' ... 'Listen to me,' said Chopra. 'I am going to commandeer this vehicle .... Let's get the elephant in the back.'
