Captain Jim Agnihotri and Lady Diana Framji return to India as they investigate a murder amidst colonial Bombay's complex hierarchy in March's fourth mystery.

In 1894 colonial India, Lady Diana's family fortunes have been slashed from a global financial slump, but even worse, her brother Adi has been accused of murder. To save him from the gallows, Captain Jim and Lady Diana rush back to Bombay to clear his name. However this proves to be difficult as the traditional Parsi community finds Jim and Diana's marriage taboo. They attempt to uncover the truth despite being ostracized.

Adi's business partner, a silversmith, was murdered with perplexing last words. He was full of secrets, with tense relationships with suppliers and numerous unpaid bills. Captain Jim must peel back the curtains on this man's life and death to uncover just why he was so desperate for gold and where that gold went. And what awful secret does the gold represent?

Set in lush, late-Victorian India, Captain Jim and Diana struggle with the complexities of caste, tradition, and loyalty. Their success, and even their lives, may depend on Diana, who sacrificed her social status and inheritance for love. Can she find a way to reconnect with the tight community that threw them aside?
