Detective Joe Sandilands is on his way to Simla when he and his
travelling companion are shot at. Unfortunately his companion is
killed. Sandilands finds out from the local police chief, Charlie
Carterr, that another man had been shot on basically the same spot
earlier. It appears that the sniper is the same person, but how are the
deaths connected?
Sandilands discovers that there is a group of
randy young men in Simla. Is it possible that they have a connection to
the murders? He interviews the wife of one of them, a smart
businesswoman, and has some suspicions confirmed by what she tells him.
Sandilands
and Carter have a plethora of suspects. The young businesswoman isn't
who she seems to be. She is being blackmailed. Now the two policemen
have to protect her and find the blackmailer. However, new information
turns their investigation on its ear; what to do now?
Author Barbara Cleverly has a few more twists and turns left before the culmination of this murder mystery. A very good read.
