Set in the time of the British Raj in colonial India, this murder mystery features a young lieutenant, the newby, given the unwelcome assignment of defending the accused, a medical orderly of, till now, unblemished record. While he works at unraveling the events and at probing reluctant witnesses, we experience the conflicts that develop as a small group of military Englishmen try to keep the lid on a simmering kettle of resentment across the huge subcontinent of India... and experience the uncertainties of young men, young families and officers far far from the safety of England. A very intriguing read!
