Review

Set in Vancouver, with the Indo-Canadian community playing an important
role, this fast-paced, humorous whodunit grabs the reader’s attention
and doesn’t let go.

Hakeem Jinnah is a clever reporter who works the crime beat at the
Vancouver Tribune, pursues women even though he’s married, and is
involved with his cousin and partner in a get-rich-quick
mail-order-bride scheme, marrying Russian women to wealthy Chinese men.
When he begins to cover the death of a shady stock promoter, his
investigation in this complex world of financial dealings is hampered by
the police and grows increasingly bizarre.

Donald Hauka is a crime reporter with the Vancouver Province. Mister
Jinnah: Securities is his first novel. More books following the
escapades of this entertaining super sleuth would be welcome.
