**Synopsis:**
In "The Bombay Prince: Perveen Mistry Investigates," the story is set in November 1921 in Bombay, India. Edward VIII, the Prince of Wales and future ruler of India, is scheduled to arrive in Bombay for a four-month tour. However, the Indian subcontinent is simmering with discontent under British rule, and tensions are running high.
Bombay solicitor Perveen Mistry anticipates unrest when the prince arrives, but she is shocked when the situation escalates into riots. Amid this chaos, a tragedy occurs: an eighteen-year-old Parsi student named Freny Cuttingmaster falls to her death from a second-floor gallery just as the prince's grand procession passes by her college.
Freny had visited Perveen for a legal consultation shortly before her death, and the information she shared raises suspicions that her death was not an accident. Filled with guilt for not being able to help Freny in life, Perveen takes it upon herself to assist Freny's grieving family during the coroner's inquest. As the circumstances surrounding Freny's death become increasingly suspicious, Perveen is determined to seek justice.
However, the situation in Bombay is rapidly deteriorating. British secret service agents are patrolling the streets, rioters are targeting individuals with perceived British connections, and shopkeepers are destroying their own goods to avoid becoming targets of racial violence. As Perveen strives to help Freny's family, she also faces the danger that her own family may be caught in the turmoil.
"The Bombay Prince" is a gripping historical mystery that combines a compelling whodunit with the backdrop of a city on the brink of chaos and change, offering a richly layered reading experience for fans of mystery and historical fiction.
