Intrepid American newlywed Jane Wunderly learns that tigers arent the only dangers lurking in 1920s India, when a murder in a popular resort town threatens to destabilize the local government and undermine the resistance movement for Indian self-rule . . .
Ooty, 1927: Accompanying Mr. Redvers on an assignment to Ootycamund to quell revolutionary rumblings, Jane finds theres more than meets the eye to Indias Queen of Hill Stations. Ootys lush tea plantations and tranquil gardens barely conceal its secrets--scandalous affairs, political sabotage, and a mounting anti-colonial movement. Even Redvers intends to subvert his official mission in Ooty, by arranging a series of clandestine meetings with local resistance leaders. But its not until the shocking death of a British national that Jane and Redvers are truly drawn into Ootys deepest shadows.
Janes suspicions that the death is more than a tragic accident are soon confirmed, but word of a murder could stoke Ootys simmering tensions into a full boil. Navigating corrupt local officials, festering personal vendettas, and a complicated network of bureaucratic entanglements that lead to the top tiers of government, Jane and Redvers edge closer to the truth…and its deadly consequences. Someone is willing to spill blood to protect their interests, will Jane become just another of Ootys darkest secrets?
