'Compulsive reading. This is a master storyteller at the top of his game.' Ann Cleeves
'Historical crime fiction at its best' The Times
'An utterly spellbinding triumph from a master storyteller' Joseph O'Connor
In the Burning Ghats of Calcutta, where the dead are laid to rest, a man is found murdered, his throat cut from ear to ear.
The victim is a popular patron of the arts, a man who was adored by all. So, what was the motive for his murder? Despite being out of favour with the Imperial Police Force, Detective Sam Wyndham is dragged in to investigate and finds himself thrust into the glamorous but dangerous world of Indian cinema.
Meanwhile Surendranath Banerjee, recently returned from Europe after three years spent running from the fallout of his last case, is searching for a missing photographer. When the vanished woman is linked with Sam's murder investigation, the two men find themselves working together once again.
But can Wyndham and Banerjee put their differences aside to solve the case?
