Beschreibungen
India, 1920. Captain Wyndham and Sergeant Banerjee of the Calcutta Police Force investigate the dramatic assassination of a Maharajah's son, in the sequel to A Rising Man.
The fabulously wealthy kingdom of Sambalpore is home to tigers, elephants, diamond mines, and the beautiful Palace of the Sun. But when the heir to the throne is assassinated in the presence of Captain Sam Wyndham and Sergeant 'Surrender-Not' Banerjee, they discover a kingdom riven with suppressed conflict. Prince Adhir was a modernizer whose attitudes—and romantic relationships—may have upset the more religious elements of his country, while his brother—now in line to the throne—appears to be a feckless playboy.
As Wyndham and Banerjee desperately try to unravel the mystery behind the assassination, they become entangled in a dangerous world where those in power live by their own rules—and those who cross their paths pay with their lives. They must find a murderer, before the murderer finds them . . .

Абир Мукерджи двадцать лет проработал в сфере финансов. Его дебютный роман «Человек с большим будущим» неожиданно для него самого выиграл конкурс, который газета Daily Telegraph проводит среди детективных авторов. Но это было лишь начало. В 2017 году роман получил премию «Исторический кинжал». Присуждаемую за лучший исторический детектив и вошел в шорт-лист премии Эдгара По. Книга стала сначала британским бестселлером, а затем американским и европейским. С финансами было покончено, теперь Абир – маститый писатель-детективщик, за первой книгой последовало еще четыре. Его второй роман из серии про пару сыщиков Уиндема и Несокрушима «Неизбежное зло» получил премию Уилбура Смита за лучшую приключенческую книгу, третий роман «Дым и пепел» был назван газетой Sunday Times в числе 100 лучших криминальных романов с 1945 года. Абир живет в Шотландии с женой и двумя сыновьями.
