The Widows of Malabar Hill Book by Sujata Massey

In 1921 Bombay, Perveen Mistry—the city’s first female solicitor—takes on the case of three Muslim widows who, living in strict purdah (seclusion), have inherited their husband’s estate. When she discovers the women have signed it all over to charity, she suspects foul play. As Perveen investigates, she uncovers deceit, intrigue, and even murder within the secluded walls of Malabar Hill—relying on her legal skills and courage to seek justice and protect the vulnerable.
