Currently Reading - The Singapore School of Villany, Shamini Flint

From the Blurb:

Inspector Singh is home - and how he wishes he wasn't.  His wife nags him at breakfast and his superiors are whiling away their time by giving him his usual 'you're a disgrace to the force' lecture.  Fortunately for Singh there is no rest for the wicked when he is called out to the murder of a senior partner at an international law firm, clubbed to death at his desk.

Opening Lines:

Inspector Singh sipped his coffee.  It was instant, sweet and milky, just the way he liked it.  Singh was not one for those fancy coffee machines that steamed milk, ground beans and sounded like mini-construction sites.
