the toorak temple case: a laila mirza mystery
Suva, Fiji. 1970s.
A temple bell rings earlier than it should.
And in that single, misplaced moment, something is set in motion.
In a city alive with gossip, tradition, and change, the sound does not go unnoticed. It stirs questions that many would rather leave buried.
When law graduate Laila Mirza finds herself drawn into a mystery that unsettles her Indo-Fijian community, she refuses to look away. What begins as a quiet disturbance soon unravels into something far more complex.
With her brother Rahul, a young police corporal determined to prove himself, Laila follows a trail of whispers through temple corridors, crowded marketplaces, and tightly woven community ties. Rumor and truth blur as they uncover layers of temple intrigue, cultural tension, and long-buried secrets.
Available now in paperback.
