Late on a Sunday night, Shreya Ved, a member of a commission probing match-fixing in the Mega Cricket League, is found murdered in her office.

Even as Inspector Vichare and Constable Lobo of Dhobi Talao Police Station begin their investigation, Russi Batliwala, the one-eyed, the indefatigably curious Parsi cricket umpire (now retired), manages to wriggle his way into the probe. As clues tumble out, the trio discover that a rather long list of people had the motive and the opportunity to kill Shreya that night. And to their surprise, one of them is India’s beloved cricket star – Rishi Girotra.

With their prime suspects dying mysteriously around them and a deadly cat-and-mouse game afoot, will Russi manage to employ his keen eye for detail and help the team unravel the bewildering puzzle before all their leads are stumped out?

A Murder is Fixed is a rollicking murder mystery that takes readers on a ride through the posh Colonial clubs, tapris and chawls of Mumbai into the murky depths of an nefarious scandal.
