Interestingly also set in Mumbai

Two Nights In Mumbai: A Thriller (The Relic Runner Book 2) by Ernest Dempsey

When artifacts go missing, there's only one guy to call. And he's the baddest good guy you'll meet.

It seemed like a great way to bank some cash, travel to exciting destinations on his boss’ dime, and keep under the radar of some very bad men trying to kill him.

But Dak has traded one deadly set of problems for another. He might be making bank in his new career, but each country he visits is chock full of entirely new groups of heavily armed men aiming to stop his work and put him in a body bag. Dak might have traded his combat fatigues for jeans and trainers, but he’s still getting shot at for money.

Now in India to save a stolen idol and rescue the Mumbai museum curator protecting it, he’s got to duck Russian mobsters, sidestep an Indian casino boss who wants more than just his time, and distract a local police force who seems to be as incompetent as they are clueless.

If Dak has to keep this up, there’s a good chance this new job is gonna get him killed faster than his old one.

This fast-paced crime thriller with thousands of 5-star reviews by USA Today bestselling author Ernest Dempsey will have you ripping through the pages as Dak Harper races to solve the mystery, recover the artifacts, and save a town from its oppressor.

Ernest Dempsey can really write a thriller! I love the Sean Wyatt archaeology thrillers.
