Amazon Editorial Review:
In a land of saffron sunsets and blazing summer heat, an Englishwoman has been found dead, her wrists slit, her body floating in a bathtub of blood and water. But is it suicide or murder? The case falls to Scotland Yard inspector Joe Sandilands, who survived the horror of the Western Front and has endured six sultry months in English-ruled Calcutta. Sandilands is ordered to investigate, and soon discovers that there have been other mysterious deaths, hearkening sinister ties to the present case.
Now, as the sovereignty of Britain is in decline and an insurgent India is on the rise, Sandilands must navigate the treacherous corridors of political decorum to bring a cunning killer to justice…knowing the next victim is already marked to die.

Journal Entry 2 by Plum-crazy from Brighouse, West Yorkshire United Kingdom on Saturday, December 13, 2008
While I love my murder mysteries I tend only to read contemporary ones so to read a detective novel set in 1920s India was a bit of a change for me....& yes, I did enjoy it!
The Indian setting was beautifully done & the story itself has enough twists & turns in it to keep you from being 100% sure of who the murderer is until the tale reaches it climax.
This will now be released as part of the WHAT'S IN A NAME CHALLENGE. I hope who ever finds it will let me know what they thought of it!
