---

A very satisfactory historical thriller set in the post WWI years. An English inspector, with no Indian experience is paired with an Bengali sergeant with an improbably educated and wealthy background (improbable that someone like that would join the police force in the first place.) But it is well researched and smoothly plotted. Good characterisation, however.
