Abir Mukherjee’s sixth novel in the Wyndham-Banerjee series sees him better already good form
THE SHADOWS OF MEN
by Abir Mukherjee
HARVILL SECKER
₹699; 352 pages
For those in the thrall of Captain Sam Wyndham and Sergeant Surendranath Banerjee of the colonial Calcutta police, the pair have returned to their familiar milieu, from Lal Bazar (their headquarters) to the backstreets of Calcutta and beyond. This time, however, in a truly ironic twist of fate, Sergeant Banerjee has been falsely accused of committing a murder while on a covert mission for none other than Calcutta’s Police Commissioner Lord Taggart. Revealing any more of the events that unfold would result in a spoiler.
This story is from the January 17, 2022 edition of India Today.
