I always enjoy Mukherjee‘s Wyndham and Banerjee series, and this one is no exception. I did, though, miss Surendranath in the earlier parts of the book, and was glad to see him turn up, particularly with a new strength to his character.

This is a great addition to the Wyndham and Banerjee series. Sam Wyndham has gone to an ashram in Assam for treatment of his opium addiction. While there he discovers that an old nemesis is still alive. The story plays out in alternating chapters, some set in 1905 London and the others in 1922 India. We learn more about Sam‘s past and, thank heavens, Banerjee becomes less a caricature, and more real man. I wonder what favor he‘ll call in from Sam?
This is the 4th book in this series, about Captain Sam Wyndham and Sergeant Banerjee in India. This time it is a bit different as the stories goes back and forth from 1905 when Sam was a police constable to present day Assam 1922. Not only crime novels but you learn about some of the history of the British in India and how they treated the people of this country. #crimebooks
This made me laugh - ironic note.
Her tone was amiable, or maybe that was just wishful thinking on my part, because she was a fine-looking woman, and i always tended to think the best of attractive women, which, when you thought about it, was rather an Achilles heel for a detective. ‘What brings you into town?‘
