This ethnographically based murder mystery, set in an Indian immigrant community in New York City, uses the main principles of cultural anthropology and ethnographic method to explore a wide range of cultural conflicts.

Power-driven egos, workplace harassment, hostile neighbors, and financial desperation drive the suspense in this exciting novel.
