I read Calcutta Chromosome by Amitav Ghosh few years back. It's kind of magical. It deals with the invention of discovery of the method of transmission of malaria by Ronald Ross. The novel is set in late-1800s Calcutta. There is science, conspiracy, and local occult involved in the story. It is one of the most unique SciFi I have ever read. And Ghosh is not a SciFi writer.
