How do you guard a man who passes off anonymous threats on his life as mere foolishness? In this new novel about the charming Inspector from the Bombay CID, Ganesh Ghote is faced with just such a perplexing situation.
Sent to a remote part of India on the pretense of helping Judge Asif with his memoirs, the Inspectorβs actual mission is to find out who would benefit from sending these unsavory warnings. But when the shrewd Judge discovers the real reason for the Inspectorβs presence he refuses to cooperate in the investigation. Ghoteβs hands are tied until it becomes evident that the threats are coming from someone within the Judgeβs household βperhaps his beautiful, high-strung daughter or his lunatic son; a militant American priest or the editor of a leftist newspaper who has a crush on the Judgeβs daughter β¦ a classic whodunit with a new twist, by a master of the genre.
