Praise for THE UNEXPECTED INHERITANCE OF INSPECTOR CHOPRA :
Leopardy jsou samotářští lovci a je těžké je vystopovat. Přikradou se ke kořisti s mrazivou přesností. V tom se nelíšejí od zabijáka, kterého hledají detektívka Jane Rizzoliová a forenzní patologička Maura Islesová, když je přivolají k bizarnímu zločinu v Bostonu. Lorna a její snoubenec Jon cestují po malebném Cornwallu a hledají vhodnou lokalitu na svou plánovanou svatbu. Navštíví panské sídlo Black Rabbit Hall, které je sice dost ošumělé, ale dýchá z něj zašlá sláva. Lornu zámeček ihned učaruje, ale současně v ní vyvolává podivné pocity. Mnoho lidí v Norsku si pamatuje šokující případ vraždy dvacetileté Cecilie Lindenové. Nyní, po sedmnácti letech, se kauza znovu vrací na soud. Vrah totiž tvrdí, že byl odsouzen na základě sfalšovaných důkazů. Detektiv William Wisting to považuje za špatnou zprávu. Inšpektor Ašvin Čopra z bombajského policajního sboru očekává svůj poslední den v službě s úzkostí, ale osud zasáhne a jeho život se zvrátí úplně jinak, než očekával.
