Murder in Melucha

<p><b>Something strange is afoot at the Lotus Palace.</b> <p/>A guest is murdered after a boring state banquet ...<br>A secret room full of scorpions is found ...<br>A cloaked stranger passes on information ...<br>Every marble statue seems to hold a secret ... <p/>In Melucha children's alphabet books teach that H is for hemlock so it is no particular surprise when someone is found murdered. But in a city where everyone has devious and twisted motives and dire plans it is not easy for Meenakshi and Kalban to find the murderer. <p/>In this sequel to the acclaimed <i>The Magicians of Madh</i> Aditi Krishnakumar pulls off another delightful romp full of mystery humour and hilarious predicaments.</p>
