THE Sergeant Akal Singh Mysteries

A charming and atmospheric debut mystery featuring a young Indian police sergeant investigating a missing persons case in colonial Fiji

A young Indian police sergeant investigates a bizarre chain of events when a purported sighting of Germans turns deadly.

Nilima Rao is a Fijian Indian Australian who has always referred to herself as "culturally confused." She has since learned that we are all confused in some way, has been published on the topic as part of the SBS Emerging Writers Competition and now feels better about the whole thing. When she isn't writing, Nilima can be found wrangling data (the dreaded day job) or wandering around Melbourne laneways in search of the next new wine bar. Her first novel, A Disappearance in Fiji was an Amazon top 20 debut for 2023, and the second in the series, A Shipwreck in Fiji, will be on shelves in 2025.
