Synopsis
In Bollywood, the film capital of India, the grisly murder of Dhartiraj, India's most famous screen villain, has plunged the Hindi tinsel town into chaos. But with the help of an ever resourceful gossip columnist, Ghote has soon assembled a list of some very likely suspects: a fading star who stood to inherit many of Dhartiraj's roles; India's number-one superstar, who was Dhartiraj's rival at the box office (and in bed); and last but hardly least, the actor's trusted stand-in. Ghote could easily make a case for each of them wanting the great Dhartiraj off the boards and into permanent retirement.

About the Author
H. R. F. Keating was born at St Leonards-on-Sea, Sussex, in 1926. He went to Merchant Taylors, leaving early to work in the engineering department of the BBC. After a period of service in the army, which he describes as "totally undistinguished," he went to Trinity College, Dublin, where he became a scholar in modern languages. He was also the crime books reviewer for The Times for fifteen years. His first novel about Inspector Ghote, The Perfect Murder, won the Gold Dagger of the Crime Writers Association and an Edgar Allen Poe Special Award.
