A Necessary Evil
Even better than his first… What is most striking about Mukherjee’s novels is his infectious enjoyment of the human oddity of the British in India… Even better is his portrayal of the mix of opulence and spirituality that characterises Sambalpore under its sybaritic but benevolent maharaja… I can’t imagine anyone failing to enjoy it

Eine Handvoll Asche
Kalkutta 1921. Der Besuch einer Opiumhöhle nimmt für den britischen Ermittler Sam Wyndham ein unerwartetes Ende, als er im Rausch von einer Razzia überrascht wird und nun unerkannt vor seinen eigenen Leuten fliehen muss. Noch benommen vom süßlichen Rauch will er über das Dach des Hauses flüchten - und stößt auf eine Leiche. Mit zwei Stichen niedergestreckt, die Augen gewaltsam entfernt. Doch Wyndham hat keine Zeit, den Schauplatz genauer zu untersuchen. In letzter Sekunde bringt er sich selbst in Sicherheit. Aber der grausame Fund ist erst der Auftakt einer Reihe blutiger Ritualmorde, die das politisch immer unruhiger werdende Kalkutta in Angst und Schrecken versetzen.

L' uomo di Calcutta
Calcutta, 1919. Non sono neanche le nove di mattina e la calura bagna la camicia di Sam Wyndham, giovane veterano britannico della Grande Guerra con un passato doloroso, arrivato a Calcutta per unirsi alla polizia e iniziare una nuova vita. Di fronte a lui, in un vicolo cieco e buio, c'è un corpo contorto in maniera innaturale e mezzo affondato in una fogna a cielo aperto. Il cadavere è quello di un alto funzionario britannico. L'hanno trovato così, con la gola tagliata, un occhio strappato dai corvi e in bocca un biglietto che intima agli inglesi di lasciare l'India. I suoi superiori credono che si tratti di un omicidio politico commesso dagli attivisti che si battono per l'indipendenza dell'India. Nel frattempo le notizie sul massacro di Amritsar, perpetrato dall'esercito di Sua Maestà, fomentano disordini tra la popolazione. È a rischio la stabilità dell'impero e il capitano Wyndham si trova coinvolto non solo in un'indagine impegnativa, che lo porta dai salotti dei ricchi imprenditori alle fumerie d'oppio dei quartieri malfamati, ma anche nelle lotte intestine dei suoi compatrioti. Deve risolvere il caso in fretta, ma qualcuno fa di tutto per impedirglielo.
