Even better than his first… What is most striking about Mukherjee’s
novels is his infectious enjoyment of the human oddity of the
British in India… Even better is his portrayal of the mix of
opulence and spirituality that characterises Sambalpore under its
sybaritic but benevolent maharaja… I can’t imagine anyone failing
to enjoy it

A year ago I welcomed the arrival of Captain Sam Wyndham and his
faithful Sergeant… and I am delight to report that his return is
every bit as engaging
*Daily Mail*
A richly detailed period gem boasting the British Raj’s exotic
setting and a gripping "whydunit" spun around an intriguing
cast
*Booklist*
An intriguing and enjoyable crime novel
*Stylist*
He writes beautifully, bringing the colourful kingdom of Sambalpore
to vivid life and taking the reader on a highly entertaining
journey to unearth the dark secrets as its core, with unexpected
twists on the way to a satisfying finale
