The Last Taxi Ride: A Ranjit Singh Novel

"The second installment of A.X. Ahmad’s Ranjit Singh mystery series is even better than the first (The Caretaker). Ex-Indian army Capt. Singh has left Martha’s Vineyard for the shadowy streets of Manhattan, where he’s now driving a taxi and attempting to save enough money to have a well-appointed second bedroom for his daughter’s visits from their home country. When Bollywood star Shabana Shah is murdered after an encounter with Singh, police suspect the worst — but Singh knows something even more terrible connecting the beautiful actor with a bizarre and lucrative underworld industry. Great pacing and unforgettable details make this a procedural not to be missed."
