India, 1919. Desperate for a fresh start, Captain Sam Wyndham arrives to take up an important post in Calcutta's police force.

He is soon called to the scene of a horrifying murder. The victim was a senior official, and a note left in his mouth warns the British to leave India - or else.

With the stability of the Empire under threat, Wyndham and Sergeant 'Surrender-not' Banerjee must solve the case quickly. But there are some who will do anything to stop them...

I know next to nothing about the British Raj in Calcutta after WWI, so I found this tale both enjoyable and highly informative. The main characters are likeable, the story is told at a good pace, and the plotting is accomplished. Shame the identity of the murderer was telegraphed so clearly that guessed it after reading only 20% of the book...
