Description

India’s only female lawyer, Perveen Mistry, is compelled to seek justice for the family of a murdered female Parsi student as Bombay buckles under riots during British rule. Sujata Massey returns with the third installment of the Agatha- and Mary Higgins Clark Award–winning series set in 1920s Bombay. November 1921: Edward VIII, the Prince of Wales and future ruler of India, arrives in Bombay for a four-month tour. The subcontinent chafes under colonial rule, and Perveen isn’t surprised when unrest over the royal visit spirals into clashes. But she is horrified by the death of Freny Cuttingmaster, an eighteen-year-old Parsi student who falls from a second-floor gallery as the prince’s procession passes by her college. Freny had come for a legal consultation days earlier, and what she confided makes Perveen suspect foul play. Perveen steps in to assist Freny’s family through the coroner’s inquest, and when Freny’s death is ruled a murder, she won’t rest until justice is done. Yet Bombay is erupting: armed British secret service on the streets, rioters attacking anyone with perceived British ties, and desperate shopkeepers destroying their own wares to avoid targeting. Can Perveen help a grieving family while her own is in danger?
