About the Author

Jolene Tan is a writer from Singapore who lives in England. She spent over a decade working on gender equality, human rights and social policy in Singapore, including leading communications at AWARE (2013-2018). Since 2021, she has focused on how markets drive deforestation and global nature loss. She has a fierce tuxedo cat and a flock of beautiful chickens.

About the Book

Police Sergeant Hafiz lies in a coma after a gunshot to the head. The investigation by Internal Affairs uncovered a game of Russian roulette gone wrong, and the case is now closed. But there are rumbles of concern in the Ministry, and middle-aged civil servant Boon Teck—assisted by young colleague Nithya—is dispatched to take another look.

Suffused with mystery and intrigue, After the Inquiry steps into the mirror maze of Singapore’s bureaucracy, where silvered surfaces hide troubling secrets, and those who search for the truth risk getting lost.
