Description
Captain Sam Wyndham, a former Scotland Yard detective, has been recruited to head up a new post in the police force in Calcutta. Desperately seeking a fresh start after his experiences during the Great War, Wyndham is drawn into a murder investigation that exposes the dark underbelly of the British Raj. A senior official has been murdered, with a note left in his mouth warning the British to quit India: or else. As Wyndham and his colleagues, Inspector Digby and Sergeant Banerjee, delve into the investigation, they uncover a complex web of rising political dissent and the instability of the Raj. The case takes them from the luxurious parlours of wealthy British traders to the seedy opium dens of the city. This atmospheric and intriguing historical crime series marks the beginning of a new era in detective fiction.
