Description
Joe Sandilands, a distinguished World War I hero and seasoned Scotland Yard detective, embarks on an intriguing journey to the summer capital of the British Raj, Simla. This vibrant hill station, with its lush landscapes and colonial charm, serves as the backdrop for a gripping tale of mystery and deception. As Sandilands arrives, he is quickly drawn into a web of political tensions and cultural clashes that permeate the region during this tumultuous period.
As he navigates the complexities of life in Simla, Sandilands encounters an array of colorful characters, each with their own secrets and motivations. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation and unrest, as the echoes of global conflict ripple through the town. He soon realizes that beneath the picturesque veneer lies a darker side, where whispers of rebellion threaten to disrupt the fragile balance of power.
Amidst the rich tapestry of British-Indian relations, Sandilands must rely on his investigative instincts to untangle the mystery that surrounds him. The scenic beauty of the mountains contrasts sharply with the chilling circumstances he uncovers, drawing him deeper into a world where loyalty is tested and alliances could hold deadly consequences. Each step he takes reveals not just hidden truths, but also the profound impact of war on a society grappling with change.
