Publisher's Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

Award-winning writer Abir Mukherjee is back with another brilliant mystery novel in the Raj-era Wyndham and Banerjee series.

A Sunday Times Books of 2021 pick.

Calcutta, 1923.

When a Hindu theologian is found murdered in his home, the city is on the brink of all-out religious war. Can officers of the Imperial Police Force, Captain Sam Wyndham and Sergeant Surendranath Banerjee track down those responsible in time to stop a bloodbath?

Set at a time of heightened political tension, beginning in atmospheric Calcutta and taking the detectives all the way to bustling Bombay, the latest instalment in this 'unmissable' (The Times) series presents Wyndham and Banerjee with an unprecedented challenge. Will this be the case that finally drives them apart?

Better and better

I love it when a series gets better as it goes along. This book was, I felt, a real turning point in this series in many ways. First, much of the action switches from Sam Wyndham to Sgt. Banerjee and Wyndam has to really question his role in the emerging Indian nation. The relationships between the characters are put to the test as the seriousness of their situation increases. I enjoyed the previous books, but this one made me think in ways the others didn't. Can't wait to see if there will be another one.
