Özet
 In the fourth rip-roaring thriller in the award-winning Malabar House series, Persis and Archie travel to the old colonial capital of Calcutta, where they collide head-on with the prejudices and bloody politics of an era engulfed in flame.

Can a white man receive justice in post-colonial India?
Bombay, 1950

James Whitby, sentenced to death for the murder of prominent lawyer and former Quit India activist Fareed Mazumdar, is less than two weeks from a date with the gallows. In a last-ditch attempt to save his son, Whitby's father, arch-colonialist, Charles Whitby, forces a new investigation into the killing.

The investigation leads Inspector Persis Wadia of the Bombay Police to the old colonial capital of Calcutta, where, with the help of Scotland Yard criminalist Archie Blackfinch, she uncovers a possible link to a second case, the brutal murder of an African-American G.I. during the Calcutta Killings of 1946.

How are the cases connected? If Whitby didn't murder Mazumdar, then who did? And why?

I was really looking forward to Book 4 in the Malabar House series and I wasn’t disappointed. Full of intrigue, twists and turns and and surprises, kept me on my the edge of my seat to the end. In all his books Vaseem brings his characters alive. If you haven’t had the pleasure of reading any of his previous novels, I recommend you give them a try. The Malabar House books can be read as stand alone novels, but to watch the characters and storyline develop, they are better read in order.

Vaseem Khan has done it again!

I’ve read all the previous novels in this series, I immensely enjoy them. This new instalment is ingeniously plotted and well-paced. Just one minor niggle, Ms Khan’s figurative language is convoluted, and some of her similes are strangulated and sounded like a Raymond Chandler novel produced by AI. If she can resist or limit the Philip Marlowe metaphors, the writing would be stronger

Very enjoyable, pity about the language

As complicated as a spiders web! Wonderful witty writing what’s the corn is master of the simile.

Tangled web

This book is a must for anyone who appreciates a good whodunit without being obviously led to the conclusion. Those are no fun.
Persis is put into situations that are frankly scary for us normal scaredy cats but seem right for her.
I wish the poor girl well on her next outing

Wholly believable
