'I worry how badly my own men are involved, how much we are being used. Above all, I would like to know who's behind this and how high his stakes are.'
When a young girl falls to her death from the Mission Row Police Housing Complex, home to DSP Bikram Chatterjee, Crime Branch goes into a tizzy.
Who is she? Is it murder or suicide? And, most importantly, how did she manage to climb up to the roof without being noticed?
As DSP Bikram grapples with death in his own backyard, elsewhere in the city two young criminals explore a new modus operandi, while there is a sudden spurt in wildlife poaching and the theft of antiques. The deeper he investigates, the more questions he is confronted with. Are all these crimes connected? This time DSP Bikram has more on his hands than he can handle because it's not just the crime-he wants to sort out his personal life as well.
The third and final book in the series,
The Final Report
is an engrossing read.
