In a small, provincial town in the heart of India, a politician’s wife has done her husband’s career a great service, by dying under suspicious circumstances. That the corpse and the trail have been cold for fifteen years hasn’t saved Inspector Ghote of the Bombay CID from being sent to investigate. But what chance does he have when his chief suspect is so powerful, when the whole district is against him, and when a holy man is fasting to the death to protest his prying?

TO DISCRIPTIVE
Absolute boring dribble. Not much of a mystery. Story does not do much more than describe the characters that have interaction with Ghote. Save your $$$$$$$ or credit, narration was the books only good quality part of the listen.
