Step into the labyrinthine alleys and bustling bazaars of Old Bombay, a city steeped in history and shrouded in mystery. In the year 1921, as the British Empire casts its shadow over the vibrant metropolis, a chilling murder sends shockwaves through its inhabitants.

At the heart of this gripping tale lies Inspector Sam Wyndam, a brilliant but enigmatic detective haunted by his past. Drawn into the investigation, he finds himself entangled in a web of deceit, corruption, and hidden desires that run deep within Bombay's elite.

As Wyndam delves deeper into the investigation, he uncovers a cast of intriguing characters with their own secrets to protect. There's the enigmatic Lady Emily Hastings, a wealthy widow with a scandalous past, and the charming but cunning Dr. Vikram Singh, who harbors a dangerous obsession.

With each twist and turn, Wyndam uncovers a trail of clues that lead him through the opium dens, gambling parlors, and hidden corners of Old Bombay. As the body count rises, he must race against time to apprehend the killer before they strike again.

Through the eyes of Inspector Wyndam, readers witness the stark contrasts of British rule, with its opulent palaces and grinding poverty. The novel delves into the complexities of race, religion, and class that shaped Indian society during this tumultuous era.
