On the shelf? Just pop in.
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 body is that of a popular philanthropist of the arts, beloved by all. So what was the motive for his murder? Despite being out of favour with the Imperial Police Force, Captain Sam Wyndham is assigned to the case and finds himself thrust into the glamorous world of Indian cinema. Meanwhile Surendranath Banerjee, recently returned from Europe, is searching for a missing photographer. When Suren discovers that the vanished woman is linked to Sam's murder investigation, the two men find themselves working together once again.
