Inspector Singh has been shipped off to Bali as part of a pan-Asian task force investigating a terrorist bombing. As he knows nothing about terrorists or bombs, it is fortunate he's on hand to investigate the murder that turns up. Unfortunately, he has to work with a partner: a very peppy, very Australian partner he can't seem to ditch. Singh's frustration, however, is the reader's delight, as the giggle-worthy relationship between the two balances the complex, often dark storyline.
