1919. A scandal in Indian Calcutta: a high-ranking British official is found dead near a brothel. In his mouth is a crushed note in which local terrorists threaten to drown the British in their own blood.
It looks like a political murder, but the newly appointed captain of the city police, Sam Weidam, who arrived in India only recently, can’t shake the suspicion that everything is far more complicated than it seems. Colonial Calcutta—from opium dens to luxurious restaurants for the white public—is an exotic labyrinth where different cultures and human motives intertwine in an intricate pattern. A stranger here can easily get lost…
What you have before you is the first in a series of atmospheric historical detective stories about Weidam’s adventures and his Indian assistant, Sergeant Banerjee, nicknamed the Unbreakable. The novel is the winner of the prestigious CWA Endeavour Dagger genre award.
