"...Commander Joe Sandilands, a Scotland Yarder completing a stint with the Bengal Police, is on his way back home when the provincial governor asks him to look into the recent death-by-suicide of an army officer's young wife. Nancy Drummond, a close friend of the dead woman, reveals that four other officers' wives have also died apparently by accident or misadventure over a period of 12 years, all in the month of March. Sandilands' investigation reveals further disturbing similarities; the cause of death in each case was the victim's greatest phobia, and an unknown person has marked the anniversaries of their passing by placing a Kashmiri rose on their graves. With Drummond as his assistant and love interest, the detective probes beneath the surface of a society attempting to replicate pre-WWI England in a very different milieu...the killer's motivation proves to be more baffling than his identity, but the solution is satisfying, as is Sandilands' handling of the ethical issues that his uncovering of the truth has raised..."--Publishers Weekly, www.amazon.com. |
