‘Thrilling, evocative and amusing. It’s a book that has everything’ Imran Mahmood

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?

‘Abir Mukherjee is doing something uniquely different in the crime genre…breathtaking’ Peter May, Sunday Times bestseller, on The Shadows of Men
