Inspector Singh Investigates: The Singapore School of Villainy (Inspector Singh Investigates Series) Paperback – 2000 by Shamini Flint

Perhaps coming home wasn't such a good idea! 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, he is called out to the murder of a senior partner at an international law firm. Unfortunately for Singh, there is no shortage of suspects - from the victim's fellow partners to his wife and ex-wife, and very soon Singh finds himself heading up an investigation that rips apart the fabric of Singapore society, exposing the rotten core beneath.
