Description
Makcik Maryam and Rubiah once again investigate murder in a small Kelantan town. Someone has been killed at a top-spinning contest, hit by a gasing, a heavy metal spinning top, that had no business flying as it did according to all laws of physics. Malaysia's most famous female amateur sleuths suspect not only foul play, but black magic, and are determined to rid Kelantan of the source of evil. Join them in their fifth adventure assisting the Kota Bharu Police Department, or vice versa, in Spinning Top, the latest in the award-winning Kain Songket Mystery Series.
