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.
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.

Set amidst the early death throes of British colonialism in the Far East, Calcutta is a fascinating place, and the descriptions of life in the city of Kali and the people are what make the story. This is a well-written book that sheds light on some of the unsavory aspects of British arrogance and prejudice that were part of the colonial mindset, but Abir Mukherjee does it in a way that does not attempt to look at those aspects through today's morays.
Sam is a realist, a flawed hero, struggling with his own demons but committed to justice and the rule of law. Ultimately the sense of decency is what makes Sam likable.
Good book. The narration by Malk Williams was just right – with a good mix of accents but not overdone.
