Description
"1914, Fiji: 25-year-old police sergeant Akal Singh would rather be anywhere but this tropical paradise. After a promising start to his career in his native India and in Hong Kong, he got sent to work in Fiji as punishment for a professional mistake he's too embarrassed to talk about. Lonely and humiliated, Akal longs for the day he can finally solve a big case and win the inspector-general's favor, thereby redeeming himself and being permitted to return to Hong Kong. When an indentured Indian woman goes missing from a sugarcane plantation and Fiji's newspapers scream 'kidnapping,' the inspector-general reluctantly assigns Akal the case, giving Akal strict instructions to view this investigation as nothing more than cursory."--,Provided by publisher.
