The Astral Alibi 

     Sonia Samarth is one of the more original sleuths around . . .[Prabhu's] stories are true puzzles in the grand old tradition that reaches back to Poe and Doyle." - The Denver Post
      If you like your crime in a foreign clime, join Sonia Samarth and her Stellar Investigations Detective Agency as she confronts a rash of baffling misdeeds plaguing the city of
Pune, India-and solving them as only she can, with a unique combination of traditional Indian wisdom, modern-day detection, and ancient astrology. Complete with authentic horoscopes...
       After a slow start to the New Year, Sonia's crime-solving services are in high demand. There's the bride whose arranged marriage may include murderous in-laws, the theatrical team
whose death scene was no act, and the deceptively happy couple whose stars foretell domestic danger. Good thing Sonia has her opinionated assistant, Jatin, to help-except that even he may
be caught up in the unlawful fray. Fortunately, it takes more than a few misguided souls-not to mention a preposterous proposal from the world's most notorious diamond thief-to rattle this
yoga-practicing, astrologically inspired sleuth.

In a city steeped in tradition, Sonia's unique brand of investigation raises eyebrows. But she seems to have found a niche - and, before long, a case of murder.

When a cat leads Sonia to her first investigation, she quickly unmasks a killer with astrology as her guide. Suddenly clients begin streaming in. A persistent, handsome TV personality; a terrified bride-to-be; a missing husband with suicidal tendencies; all challenge Sonia's astrological abilities to prevent a crime. Apparently isolated experiences, but bound by an invisible thread. While Sonia has stellar success in unraveling the truth, very soon she'll have to look closely at her own stars. Because the most notorious international criminal has crossed her path - and he has plans of his own.....
