Items related to Tulip Season (Mitra Basu Mystery)
A missing domestic-violence counselor. A wealthy and callous husband. A dangerous romance.
Kareena Sinha, an Indian-American domestic-violence counselor, disappears from her Seattle home. When the police dismiss suspicions that she herself was a victim of spousal abuse, her best friend, Mitra Basu, a young landscape designer, resolves to find her.
Mitra's search reveals glimpses of a secret life involving her friend and a Bollywood actor of ill repute. Following the trail, Mitra is lured back to India where she uncovers the actor's ties to the Mumbai underworld and his financial difficulties - landing her in a web of life-threatening intrigue where Mitra can't be sure of Kareena's safety or her own.
"Mitra is gunpowder chutney to the mystery genre, her adventures a hot refreshing blast of sumptuous storytelling. Bharti Kirchner has once again conquered another literary field. Highly Addictive." -- Skye Moody, Author of the mystery novel Three Bags Full
"Tulip Season is an evocative taste of Seattle's darker side." -- Cara Black, Author of the mystery novel Murder at the Lanterne Rouge
"A multi-layered mystery, Tulip Season is carefully crafted." -- Curt Colbert, Co-author of the upcoming mystery novel Dial 'C' for Chihuahua

Review:
"Engrossing," says the Seattle Times. "Kirchner moves her plot along at a nice clip. But perhaps the best part of "Tulip Season" is Kirchner's gift for exploring, through Mitra's eyes, how the beauty of flowers evokes deep emotions."
