About the book
Maharaja Sikander Singh – Light of Heaven, Sword of Justice, Shield of the Faithful, sole ruler of Rajpore – is slow to rise the morning after the 1909 New Year’s Ball. But news of a murder galvanizes him. Major William Russell, the English Resident of Rajpore, is dead in his bed. A lover of luxury cars and beautiful women, Sikander’s deepest passion is for mysteries. As the clock starts ticking, Sikander must overcome obstacles, false trails, and the growing hostility of the English Establishment, even as he learns that Major Russell was not as pukka as he liked to pretend. Will the Maharaja work through a surplus of suspects and motives before the British shut him down and cover up the truth? Like Sherlock Holmes, Sikander wields careful and deliberate logic to crack puzzles that leave less intelligent men confounded. Here is such an opportunity, and well timed – for the Maharaja, who has surrendered most of his authority to the British, is almost fatally bored.
