Autor Vaseem Khanen Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 aug 2016
For
centuries,
the
Koh-i-Noor
diamond
has
set
man
against
man
and
king
against
king.
Now
part
of
the
British
Crown
Jewels,
the
priceless
gem
is
a
prize
that
many
have
killed
to
possess.
So
when
the
Crown
Jewels
go
on
display
in
Mumbai,
security
is
everyone's
principal
concern.
And
yet,
on
the
very
day
Inspector
Chopra
visits
the
exhibition,
the
diamond
is
stolen
from
under
his
nose.
The
heist
was
daring
and
seemingly
impossible.
The
hunt
is
on
for
the
culprits.
But
it
soon
becomes
clear
that
only
one
man
--
and
his
elephant
--
can
possibly
crack
this
case...

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.
