Description

An ambitious New York lawyer is whisked from a leisurely West Coast vacation straight into a covert assignment that spans continents. His mysterious boss, Meldrum Strange, hands him a dated newspaper clipping and a letter from a celebrated British Indian officer, urging him to race to Simla and uncover a dangerous plot. The narrative erupts as the protagonist jets across Europe, lands in bustling Bombay, and is greeted by the striking native guide Gulab Lal Singh, who deftly smooths his passage through colonial checkpoints.

The story rides the tide of 1920s intrigue, blending the atmosphere of exotic ports, tea‑laden tea houses, and the looming shadow of secret service legends. Readers are pulled into the protagonist’s swift adjustment to a world of diplomatic whispers, cryptic contracts, and the promise of hidden caves that may hold the key to a larger conspiracy. It’s a fast‑moving adventure that captures the thrill of early‑twentieth‑century espionage without giving away what lies beyond the first act.
