Best known for his five-part Baby Ganesh Detective Agency series, UK-based author Vaseem Khan is ready with the second in his three-part historical crime series that follows his protagonist Persis Wadia in her exploits across vintage Bombay. The Dying Day (Hodder & Stoughton) is scheduled for a July release, but the cover design caught our eye because the iconic Asiatic Society of Mumbai for a change, graces the jacket of a fictional read; a departure since it is typically spotted on the covers of academic journals or research papers.
