The second Superindentent Le Fanu Mystery sees our intrepid British policeman on
the trail of the murderers of an Indian Rajah. Under pressure from his
superiors, pining for his lost love and allergic to the sight of blood, Le Fanu
must navigate through a political mine-field of colonial intrigue in 1920s
Madras. As the British tighten their grip on the sub-continent, Gandhi's peace
movement, British secret agents and armed pro-independence rebels complicate Le
Fanu's investigations further and he soon finds himself in a quagmire of
violent opposing forces that are unwilling to compromise.
