English barrister Michael Dean is thrilled to be assigned to a case that will allow him to return to his native India. Arriving at Patna Hallthe quaint seaside hotel on the Coromandel coast where the theft allegedly took placehe quickly launches into his investigation, casting suspicion on everyone, including the inn's vivacious Anglo-Indian proprietress, Auntie Sanni.
