Under a Monsoon Cloud

Description

What is Inspector Ghote to do? It is months now since he was sent to take command at the small hill-station of Vigatpore. But the events of one fateful night have put him in a terrible quandary. It was with almost no warning that his long time hero Tiger' Kelkar, now a top-ranking officer, arrived to make an inspection - and killed a subordinate in a moment of pre-monsoon anger. To his horror, Ghote found himself concealing the death to protect the man he reveres. Now he finds himself being accused at an Inquiry set up to elicit the truth-and is torn by a traumatic clash of loyalties. "First-class Keating" OBSERVER.
