Description

The Das sisters uncover a computer chip black market syndicate operating out of Singapore, willing to murder anyone who disrupts their profiteering. But who is the mastermind The Das sisters investigate a counterfeit computer chip syndicate operating out of Asia, to whom murder is a means of protecting business interests. A private plane crashes. A heart pacemaker malfunctions. Only one man in Singapore realizes counterfeit computer chips sold on the black market may be to blame. He sets on a mission to expose the crime syndicate. When he is murdered, the Das sisters must hunt down his killers. The third of the Das Sisters Mystery Series finds ASP Dolly Das and her sister, Lily, confronted by two murder cases at once. The sisters' holiday in Bali is cut short by the murder of a Singapore guest at their hotel. A simple case of a robbery gone wrong takes on sinister overtones when they realize the guest may have been the target of a hit by an organised crime syndicate dealing in counterfeit computer chips. Back in Singapore, a member of the murdered man's family is found strangled. Are the two murders connected As suspects mysteriously disappear or are killed, and the possibility of police corruption rears its ugly head, the Das sisters are challenged as never before. The sisters, with the help of their mother, Uma, Dolly's husband, Joey, assistants, Angie and Vernon and the domestic helper, Girlie take risks to bring down the syndicate and find the killers. Jealousy festers when one sister upstages the other. Is this the end of the road for the Das sisters working as a team
