Paul fell in love with India when he fell in love with his wife, Aneysha, who is from Delhi. She urged him to set stories in India because they are in her homeland so much. That led to Paul writing Murder in Moonlit Square, the first in his new Irish-Indian cosy crime series set in Chandni Chowk in Delhi. It entered the Indian bestseller charts at No.3. The sequel, Death at the Elephant House, is published in the UK, India and Ireland in October 2026. It’s published in hardback, paperback and ebook by the No Exit imprint of Bedford Square Publishers in Britain and Ireland, in audiobook by WF Howes (narrated by Paul Tylak), and in India and south Asia by Hachette India.
