There's no doubt it's murder, and Inspector Ghote of the Bombay CID, who's thrilled to be personally assigned such a high-profile case, quickly discovers that there's no shortage of suspects. The fading star who Dhartiraj toppled from his place; the superstar who stole Dhartiraj's wife, and whose mistress Dhartiraj stole in revenge; and Dhartiraj's secret-dealing stand-in - Ghote finds he could easily make a case for each of them wanting the great Dhartiraj off the boards and into permanent retirement. But his investigations are hindered not just by the film studio's intimidating owner, who is determined that nothing will stand in the way of his latest film's financial success, but by Ghote himself. For the good detective, caught up in visions of his own glittering success, finds himself desperate to solve the case in record time.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><i>H.R.F Keating's novels about Bombay policeman Ganesh Ghote are masterpieces of imagination</i>-- "<b>Time Magazine</b>"<br><br><i>Inspector Ghote is a most appealing sleuth, a little shy and uncertain of himself, but dogged and determined when it comes to ferreting out the truth</i>-- "<b>Publishers Weekly</b>"<br><br><i>Keating is an immensely talented author who has delighted fans for decades with his wonderfully witty Inspector Ghote</i>-- "<b>Booklist</b>"<br><br><i>Mr Keating has a long-established winner in his sympathetic and lively hero</i>-- "<b>The Times</b>"<br><br><i>Mr Keating has created in Inspector Ghote an enchanting and engaging character</i>-- "<b>P.D.
