This is the fifth book charting daring-dos in post WW1 Calcutta of Captain Sam Wyndham and Sergeant Surendranath Banerjee of the Imperial Police Force. I recommend reading them in order for the interesting way in which the relationship between these two policeman changes as the British Raj control falters. In addition to the crime mystery in each book there is also racial and religious tension, emotion, opium addiction and vivid descriptions of India at that time.
