After spending most of his career in state education, Champak Chauhan gave up full-time work to focus on writing crime fiction. His first thriller, 'The Dance of Death' introduces DI Rohan Sharma, who lives and works in the vibrant and diverse city of Leicester, a place that is his spiritual and cultural home.
As regular readers in the genre will know, there are not many protagonists who are of Rohan Sharma's background, although there are one or two notable exceptions. Champak wanted to write about an ordinary detective of South Asian origin who is trying to make a positive difference within his home city.
But Rohan Sharma also face particular challenges, both in his personal and professional life. He is a complex, erudite individual who straddles a multi-dimensional world and this is evident in many aspects of his life.
