About the Book
Prem Bedi is the "Mogul"--the third-richest man in the country. He commands both fear and respect, and at fifty-three, he still looks handsome and aristocratic. But Bedi's smoothly run empire comes to a screeching halt when he's accused of killing his ex-wife and her husband, and dragged into a court battle. The ever-present spotlight on him grows brighter and harsher, and the questions grow louder--"Did he do it?" A story unfolding through several different perspectives, The Mogul is a howdunnit set in the fractured world of power, money, and crime.
