A nervous treasurer hiding something. A priest who's witnessed the impossible. And others, each with their own darkness. When Inder discovers the ghost enters and exits through hidden passages in the fort walls, the mystery shifts from supernatural to sinister. The British East India Company is manipulating officials, staging ghost sightings, smuggling royal treasures-all to create chaos that justifies colonial ""intervention."" An impossible ghost becomes a sophisticated conspiracy. A murdered investigator becomes a warning. And one detective must expose imperial tactics before an entire kingdom falls. The most politically dangerous Inder Shastri mystery yet. BOOK SIX IN THE INDER SHASTRI MYSTERY SERIES
