About this title

Synopsis

How do you guard a man who passes off anonymous threats on his life as mere foolishness? Sent to a remote part of India on the pretense of helping Judge Asif with his memoirs, the Inspector's actual mission is to find out who would benefit from sending these unsavory warnings. But when the shrewd Judge discovers the real reason for the Inspector's presence, he refuses to co-operate until it become evident that the threats are coming from someone in the household - perhaps his beautiful, high-strung daughter or his lunatic son; a militant American priest or the editor of a leftist newspaper who has a crush on the Judge's daughter....

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.
