An outcast Brahmin detective. A prickly English inspector. A terrifying killer.

Chief Inspector Soobramania is called when three bodies are discovered in the space of twenty-four hours, with mutilations bearing an eerie resemblance to Jack the Ripper’s victims.

Initial suspicion centres on an English Duke visiting Hyderabad and his friend, a powerful Deccani noble and the angry stepson of one of the dead.

In the face of political pressure, Soob must ally with his rival in the British Residency Police, Inspector Wilberforce, to unearth the culprit.

So begins the cat-and-mouse game – played in the shadow of imperial politics where high birth protects foul deeds, and where blood counts for less than riches.

A rich and compelling historical crime thriller to delight fans of Vaseem Khan and Abir Mukherjee.

I absolutely loved this historical fiction novel. It was incredibly well written, the protagonists were quite endearing, and the historical period was captured so well. At the end the notes described the extensive research that was done to support the plot & historical & geographical setting of the book, and it shows. I can't wait to listen to the next.

Historical context extremely fascinating, narration FANTASTIC

A well written, faced paced murder mystery that left me wanting more novels from this author! The narrator was spot on as well. Looking forward to her future novels…

Fast paced murder mystery

So many characters it was difficult to follow. Things happened that didn’t tie in or make sense with the storyline. Still it was a mystery not uncovering who was guilty until the end

A whodunnit mystery
