This checks pretty much every box in our 'should we read this mystery?' checklist. First, it launches a new series. Second, it's set in the past in another country, in this case Calcutta in 1919. Third, it was a hit overseas (in London). Fourth, the trades ( Publishers Weekly , Library Journal , etc.) have praised it. Fifth, is enjoying enthusiastic support from early readers. Sixth (and this is a new one for us), it features a character known as 'No Surrender' Banerjee, which seals the deal., British author Mukherjee's outstanding debut and series launch combines a cleverly constructed whodunit with an unusual locale--Calcutta in 1919--portrayed with convincing detail. The nuanced relationship between Wyndham and his Indian assistant adds even more depth. , British author Mukherjee's outstanding debut and series launch combines a cleverly constructed whodunit with an unusual locale--Calcutta in 1919--portrayed with convincing detail. The nuanced relationship between Wyndham and his Indian assistant adds even more depth. , Abir Mukherjee's A Rising Man is a whodunit set in the social and political tinderbox of 1919 Calcutta--a thought-provoking rollercoaster., This checks pretty much every box in our 'should we read this mystery?' checklist. First, it launches a new series. Second, it's set in the past in another country, in this case Calcutta in 1919. Third, it was a hit overseas (in London). Fourth, the trades (Publishers Weekly, Library Journal, etc.) have praised it. Fifth, is enjoying enthusiastic support from early readers. Sixth (and this is a new one for us), it features a character known as 'No Surrender' Banerjee, which seals the deal., The novel is filled with fascinating historical detail, intriguing crime, and a minefield of political pitfalls the characters must navigate. Both Sam Wyndham and Surrender-not Banerjee are two creatively developed characters who are more than capable of carrying readers through Calcutta for many books to come., A lip-smacking and highly entertaining mystery, set in a Calcutta so convincingly evoked that readers will find sweat bursting from their foreheads., With a sly authorial wit, quirky characters, and historical details that anchor the story to its steamy, exotic locale, this debut novel is the first in what looks to be an entertaining new series similar to Barbara Cleverly's Detective Joe Sandilands mysteries (especially The Damascened Blade , 2004)., Ali Soufan is our most important chronicler of the rise and spread of Islamist terror movements. A former FBI agent who identified the hijackers of 9/11, and whose interrogation of al-Qaeda members--without torture--led to innumerable breakthroughs, Soufan is a unique resource and a moral beacon. In a time when our intelligence community as well as our country seem to have lost their bearings, his clear voice guides us through the fog of war and partisanship. Anyone who wants to understand the world we live in now should read this book., Mukherjee immerses the reader in the climate and society of India and the politics of a little known time in its history. Wyndham and Banerjee are engaging characters, and the complexity of the clash and cooperation between the differing castes and cultures within India promise many more intriguing mysteries with deftly turned conclusions., Winner of the Harvill Secker Daily Telegraph crime writing competition, this stirring, entertaining first mystery bursts with lively, colorful historical details about colonial Calcutta. The developing relationship between Wyndham and Banerjee is a delight. A fine start to a new crime series that will attract readers of M.J. Carter and Tarquin Hall., With a sly authorial wit, quirky characters, and historical details that anchor the story to its steamy, exotic locale, this debut novel is the first in what looks to be an entertaining new series similar to Barbara Cleverly's Detective Joe Sandilands mysteries (especially The Damascened Blade, 2004)., A crime novel that is, quite simply, enormous fun. Wyndham's next assignment can't come soon enough.

Synopsis
The body of a senior official has been found in a filthy sewer, and a note left in his mouth warns the British to quit India, or else. Under tremendous pressure to solve the case before it erupts into increased violence on the streets, Wyndham and his two new colleagues--arrogant Inspector Digby and Sergeant Banerjee, one of the few Indians to be recruited into the new CID--embark on an investigation that will take them from the opulent mansions of wealthy British traders to the seedy opium dens of the city. Masterfully evincing the sights, sounds, and smells of colonial Calcutta, A Rising Man is the start of an enticing new historical crime series., In the days of the Raj, a newly arrived Scotland Yard detective is confronted with the murder of a British official--in his mouth a note warning the British to leave India, or else . . . Calcutta, 1919. Captain Sam Wyndham, former Scotland Yard detective, is a new arrival to Calcutta. Desperately seeking a fresh start after his experiences during the Great War, Wyndham has been recruited to head up a new post in the police force. He is immediately overwhelmed by the heady vibrancy of the tropical city, but with barely a moment to acclimatize or to deal with the ghosts that still haunt him, Wyndham is caught up in a murder investigation that threatens to destabilize a city already teetering on the brink of political insurgency.

- c***n (266)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufGreat eBay transaction in every way. Awesome power seller. Book arrived in excellent condition as described. Amazing value and bargain. Shipped in a discrete manner and arrived safely with no damage whatsoever. Beautiful book. I am very impressed with this seller. Book was shipped right away and there was no delay in shipping. High quality transaction and A+ seller. Would definitely do business with again. Thanks, and keep up the great work. Take care and all the best. Highly recommended seller!
- i***u (142)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufNo trouble with seller but I bought this book and two others that comprise the series, all from separate used book sellers on eBay, all at the same time. All shipped separately, all were somehow held at the post office, supposedly according to my request (which I never gave--these are under $5 paperbacks, just leave them on the porch!!), and only notification I got was "delivery attempted." I've had one refund already--not wanted--and now I have all the books. Pain in the ass thanks to USPS.
