Murder in the Deccan ; 1.

Chief Inspector Soobramania is called when three bodies are discovered in the space of 24 hours, with mutilations bearing an eerie resemblance to Jack the Ripper's victims. Initial suspicion centres on an English Duke visiting Hyderabad and his friend, a powerful Deccani noble and the angry stepson of one of the dead. In the face of political pressure, Soob must ally with his rival in the British Residency Police, Inspector Wilberforce, to unearth the culprit. So begins the cat-and-mouse game - played in the shadow of imperial politics where high birth protects foul deeds, and where blood counts for less than riches.
