When the India Office seek help in
finding Maharajah
Narayan, last seen hunting on the Bolton Abbey estate, they
call upon the expertise of renowned amateur detective Kate
Shackleton to investigate.
But soon a missing persons
case turns to murder. Shot
through the heart, Narayan's body has obviously not been in
the woods overnight. Who brought it here, and from where?
And what has happened to the hugely valuable diamond that
was in the Maharajah's possession?
An inexplicable
murder ...
As Kate digs deeper, she soon discovers
that vengeance takes
many forms. Was the Maharajah's sacrilegious act of shooting
a white doe to blame? Or are growing rumors of a political
motive too powerful for Kate to discount?
One thing
Kate is sure of: her own skills and insights.
Qualities that she is sure will help her unravel a
mysterious murder on that fateful summer's
day.
