Bribery, Corruption Also
by H. R. F. Keating
Indian Inspector Ghote, officer of the Bombay Police, is on leave to accompany his wife to Calcutta where she has inherited a house from a relative. Protima, Ghote's wife, has fond childhood memories of the house, and hopes to live there. Upon their arrival, they face a frustrating legal maze in trying to obtain the property. The city seems corrupt on every level. Ghote can trust no one and suspects that control of the house is part of a conspiracy to develop the nearby wetlands. Grave danger threatens Ghote before he can discover the slippery truth.
