Cold Sun

Cold Sun is a stylish and exuberant, fish-out-of-water, crime thriller, in which former cricketer turned Scotland Yard detective, Vijay Patel, is sent to India to help with a murder investigation only to quickly find himself out of his depth when more victims are discovered. Patel isn’t quite Indian enough to fit in and his British ideas about policing aren’t entirely welcomed in this wonderfully observed, whip-smart, India-set thriller. – Amer Anwar

A really insightful and interesting read. Cold Sun is an exciting start to what should be a super-gripping new thriller series from Sivakumaran… You’ll be kept guessing as to the killer’s identity throughout… Will have you totally hooked.
