A charming cozy mystery by Vaseem Khan, first published in 2015. It is the first novel in the Baby Ganesh Agency Investigation series and introduces one of modern crime fiction's most endearing detective duos: retired Inspector Ashwin Chopra and an unexpected baby elephant named Ganesh. The novel was later selected by The Sunday Times as one of the 40 best crime novels published between 2015 and 2020.

On the day of his retirement from the Mumbai Police, the honest and respected Inspector Ashwin Chopra expects a quiet farewell. Instead, he receives two unexpected inheritances: the suspicious death of a young boy that no one in the police department wants to investigate—and a baby elephant left to him by his late uncle.

Although forced into retirement because of a heart condition, Chopra cannot ignore the grieving mother's plea for justice. Working outside official channels, he begins investigating the alleged drowning, uncovering corruption, organized crime, and powerful people determined to bury the truth. Alongside him is Ganesh, the intelligent and surprisingly resourceful elephant who becomes both an unlikely partner and a source of warmth and humor.

Set against the vibrant backdrop of Mumbai, the novel vividly portrays the city's luxury high-rises, crowded streets, sprawling slums, and hidden criminal underworld. Blending an engaging murder mystery with humor, Indian culture, and heartfelt relationships, the story balances suspense with optimism and compassion.
