Bombay, 1892: Two women, sisters-in-law from a prominent Parsee family, fall to their deaths from a university clocktower in broad daylight. Captain Jim Agnihotri, an Anglo-Indian soldier on medical leave from the British army, is hired by the family to investigate the apparent suicides. Inspired by his hero, Sherlock Holmes, Captain Jim embarks upon a zealous investigation—full of adventure, danger, and even romance—to find those responsible for the tragic deaths. Rich with the sights, sounds, and smells of colonial India, this charming and engrossing historical mystery provides fascinating insight into life during the British Raj.
