Fishing competitions are tough enough when there are crocodiles in the river. Dead bodies floating up at your feet are really too much, though. Annette and Jack Andrews, a retired Irish couple, were enjoying their holiday in Goa until they recognised the face of the body floating in the Mandovi river. The fishing competition was meant to be just a bit of fun for Jack to balance the touring of the old town that he had done with Annette over the weekend. More bodies over the next few days, local political battles, avoiding crocodiles and tough guys following the couple all add more adventure to the holiday than Annette and Jack had expected. This is the eighth book in the Goa Murder Mystery Series. Detective Inspector Guarav Seth, a tall distinguished former weightlifting champion, manages his team with intelligence and sensitivity. In his 60’s, he has been lured out of early retirement and given his old team to handle the challenge of major crime cases. His two detectives, Francis de Silva and Lucas Singh, are avid cricket fans who can turn their hands to almost any investigative task. The senior forensic specialist, Krisla Karim, is addicted to coffee and to her lab. Laurann Hardy, a Canadian specialist on loan through the Commonwealth Criminal Science Exchange Program, uses a range of resources to develop profiles. Inspector Seth’s old friend, Dr. Sanjay Kenkre works hand-in-hand with the team as the chief medical examiner.
