Blood Caste – Shylashri Shankar

Description

Hyderabad, 1895. Three mutilated bodies are found, their wounds chillingly like those of the Whitechapel murders of Jack the Ripper. Chief Inspector Soobramania, “Soob”, has three powerful suspects: a visiting Russian grand duke, an English earl and a Deccani nobleman who is the stepson of one of the victims.

With the suspects linked to Queen Victoria’s family, Soob must work with his rival, Inspector Wilberforce of the British Residency Police, to catch the killer without sparking a diplomatic crisis. A gripping historical crime debut by Shylashri Shankar, the first in the Murder in the Deccan series.
