Nobody is safe. Everyone's a suspect.

Hyderabad, 1895. Nine desperate people find themselves marooned at a house party in Faluknama Palace during a devastating storm.

News soon reaches them of a dreaded revolutionary in the area, as well as an escaped panther on the loose... and then the murders begin.

Can Chief Inspector Soobramania, an outcast Brahmin policeman arrested on charges of treason, convince his prickly British rival, Inspector Wilberforce, to help him end the killing spree?

An utterly compelling historical locked room mystery with a sting in the tail.
