Silent Auction Murder

Silent Auction Murder is the third book in Andrew D. Levine’s Kabir Joshi & Ananya Rao Mystery Series, a Mumbai art crime mystery where charity, prestige, forged art, and murder meet behind polished doors.

A glamorous charity auction should be an evening of generosity, influence, and public virtue. But when the event turns deadly, investigative journalist Kabir Joshi and police officer Ananya Rao are drawn into a world where wealth protects secrets and reputation is often more valuable than truth.

As they follow the evidence through Mumbai’s elite social and financial circles, questions surrounding valuable artwork, authenticity, donors, and hidden financial interests begin to expose something much larger than a single murder.

The deeper Kabir and Ananya investigate, the more dangerous the distinction becomes between what is genuine and what has been carefully manufactured to appear that way.

Silent Auction Murder blends murder mystery, investigative journalism, police procedure, art forgery, financial crime, and institutional corruption against the backdrop of modern Mumbai.

For readers of Indian crime fiction, Mumbai mysteries, art crime thrillers, financial mysteries, and Indian noir.
