Blackstone and the Tiger

The kidnappings seemed straightforward, run-of-the-mill crimes at first, but Inspector Blackstone soon realizes they are anything but. This gang is so ruthless that it shocks even the hardened London criminal underworld - so efficient and meticulous in its planning that it evades the traps the police set for it with almost contemptuous ease. And it is plain to Blackstone that this is a preliminary skirmish - that the gang ultimately intends to play for much larger stakes.

But Blackstone's problems are only just beginning. The arrival in London of the Maharajah of Chandrapore - the Tiger of Chandrapore as he know to his subjects - will place the Inspector centre stage in a chain of events which will not only threaten the whole nature of the British Raj in India, but could turn the British government into nothing more than a puppet of a very dangerous conspiracy.

Vivid characters, a dazzling plot, authentic period details, and plenty of surprising twists make this latest effort by Rustage (aka Sally Spencer) an outstanding choice for historical mystery fans.
