"A murder mystery which takes place in Calcutta in 1919, told through the eyes of an English policeman taking up a new post in order to make a fresh start.

This is a crucial period in Anglo-Indian history and this book brings Calcutta and its history alive. The relationship between the ruling British and the natives is perfectly told.

I found it thought provoking and it bought alive the experiences I had when visiting Calcutta and Amritsar."
