Teardrop

'Teardrop' is a historical crime novel with a little bit of everything. Set in 1950s Ceylon, now Sri Lanka, it follows rookie female journalist Jazz Bartelot who joins the crime desk at the Colombo courier and is paired with charming, charismatic reporter Sonny de Roye whose star seems to suddenly be fading as his big stories dry up and he is more associated with late nights at bars and card tables.
