Harini Nagendra is the author of the Bangalore Detectives Club series, which began in 2022. Set in 1920s Bangalore during British colonial rule, the books follow Dr. Kaveri Murthy and her husband as they solve murders while navigating the social expectations and political tensions of the era. Nagendra is also an ecologist and professor, and her academic background informs the detailed historical settings in her fiction.
The series has grown to four books, with Into the Leopard’s Den arriving in 2025. The books have received attention for bringing a fresh setting to the historical mystery genre, with Bangalore’s neighborhoods, festivals, and class dynamics providing a rich backdrop for the investigations.
