The story begins in the haze of a shady opium den, an unseemingly mundane night for Sam (protagonist). However little does he know that he’s laying on the starting line of a murder he’s never going to forget.
Mukherjee has created another great piece of literary work. The amount of historical accuracy and attention-to-detail shows the painstaking research the author goes into. This story starts slowly but once it’s on the rails, you’re in for a really interesting ride.
Even if you’re not a fan of historical novels, if you’re a fan of detective stories, you’ll love this.
