Notă biografică
Vaseem
Khan
first
saw
an
elephant
lumbering
down
the
middle
of
the
road
in
1997
when
he
arrived
in
India
to
work
as
a
consultant.
It
was
the
most
unusual
thing
he'd
ever
encountered
and
served
as
the
inspiration
behind
his
series
of
crime
novels.
He
returned
to
the
UK
in
2006
and
now
works
at
University
College
London
for
the
Department
of
Security
and
Crime
Science
where
he
is
astonished
daily
by
the
way
modern
science
is
being
employed
to
tackle
crime.
