Second adventure of Perveen Mistry, one of the first female lawyers in 1920s India.Because of the discretion she used in her first case, Perveen was selected by the British ruling government to travel to Satapur to investigate and negotiate between a dowager maharini and her daughter -in-law as to the education of the 10 year old maharajah. Once she arrives, she becomes worried for the safety of the young maharajah whose older brother recently died in a hunting accident. Fabulous details of a style of life so different from my own. Highly recommended!
