Inspector Singh is home - and how he wishes he wasn''t. His wife nags him at breakfast and his superiors are whiling away their time by giving him his usual ''you''re a disgrace to the force'' lecture. Fortunately for Singh, there is no rest for the wicked when he is called out to the murder of a senior partner at an international law firm, clubbed to death at his desk.

And very soon Singh finds himself heading up an investigation that rips apart the fabric of Singapore society and exposes the rotten core beneath. Perhaps coming home wasn''t such a good idea, after all...?
