Un male necessario
Calcutta, 1920. Nello splendido giardino della Government House si ritrovano venti principi del regno del Raj. Il governo britannico li ha convocati per avviare dei negoziati, necessari a creare una Camera dei Principi che possa accontentare le crescenti richieste di indipendenza. Tra nobili convenuti c'è il figlio del maharaja, il principe Adhir, che recentemente ha ricevuto delle minacce di morte. Per questo motivo ha invitato all'incontro il sergente "Surrender-not" Banerjee, suo amico e compagno di studi, insieme al Capitano Sam Wyndham. Il giovane maharaja li invita a spostarsi nel Grand Hotel dove alloggia per discutere la delicatissima questione dei biglietti minatori che ha trovato sotto il suo cuscino e nella tasca di un vestito. La Rolls-Royce su cui viaggiano viene fermata da un uomo vestito da prete induista che esplode tre colpi di pistola uccidendo il principe. Il capitano Wyndham lo insegue, ma l'assassino riesce a scappare tra i vicoli, scomparendo in mezzo alla folla di una parata religiosa. Indagando Wyndham e Surrender-not si accorgono di quanto il regno sia teatro di tumulti e sommosse. Il principe Adhir era infatti mal sopportato da alcuni gruppi religiosi e il suo fratello minore, nuovo successore al trono, è solo un playboy buono a nulla. Mentre i due poliziotti uniscono le forze per tentare di risolvere il mistero, rimangono coinvolti in una fitta rete di segreti e minacce all'interno di un mondo pericoloso e senza pietà. Sta a loro trovare il killer, prima che sia lui a scovarli...

Fumo e cenere
Calcutta, 1921. Tormentato dai ricordi dolorosi legati alla guerra mondiale e alla morte della sua giovane moglie, il capitano Sam Wyndham sta cercando di contrastare la grave dipendenza dall'oppio, che deve comunque tenere segreta perché potrebbe costargli la carriera. Ma è proprio in una fumeria d'oppio che, per sfuggire a un'incursione della polizia, incappa nel cadavere sfigurato di uno sconosciuto, ucciso a coltellate. Il tipo di pugnale utilizzato e le ferite sul corpo dell'uomo fanno pensare a un omicidio rituale. È il primo di una serie di morti misteriose, tutte con caratteristiche simili, ma apparentemente slegate l'una dall'altra e avvenute in diverse zone della città. In una caccia all'uomo senza quartiere in cui è aiutato dal suo fidato assistente indiano, l'abile e astuto sergente Banerjee, Sam deve fare di tutto perché l'assassino non colpisca ancora. Tutto questo sullo sfondo di un mondo in fermento, in cui i nazionalisti sono sul piede di guerra per protestare contro l'arrivo del principe di Galles e le spinte all'indipendenza dall'Impero britannico sono sempre più sentite.
