1908. A gruesome death. An airship full of suspects.
Maliha Anderson prefers to be alone, even on the long journey back to India. Unfortunately one of her fellow passengers is a murderer.
She should stay out of the death of the General's nurse, but Maliha cannot leave a mystery alone. Besides, there is no one else on the vessel qualified to investigate, though she's the only person who knows that.
Defying her need for isolation, she negotiates prejudice and unwanted personal attentions as she struggles to find the perpetrator. She might die in the attempt but perhaps that's what she wants.
In a past that never was, the first three installments of the Maliha Anderson series (Murder out of the Blue, Blood Sky at Night and Halo Round the Moon) are filled with twists, vivid descriptions, intriguing characters, and crisp, elegant prose.
