Death stalks the streets of Bangalore when the Circus comes to
town... January 1922, and the Bangalore constabulary is on high
alert. Edward, Prince of Wales, is scheduled to visit the city,
seeking to redeem his reputation after disastrous visits to Bombay
and Calcutta which were marked by violent anti-British riots.
Kaveri has none of these concerns on her mind; she's excited as she
and her husband Ramu have been given VIP tickets to the famous
Bangalore circus. But when a celebrity magician, shackled in an
iron cage filled with deadly snakes, disappears into thin air and
his son pleads with Kaveri to find his vanished father, she is
stunned to discover her friend and favourite policeman, Inspector
Ismail, is telling her to leave the case well alone -- could it be
because it has something to do with the prince's impending visit?
As a menacing gang of wrestlers leave death threats at her
doorstep, Kaveri's former friends become foes, and the bodies start
to pile up... Chased by both police and thugs through the streets
of Bangalore, searching desperately for clues to the vanished man,
she has never been in such danger. After solving two cases of
murder, Kaveri Murthy thought she had cemented her reputation as
Bangalore's favourite lady detective. But this case will test her
like never before. PRAISE FOR HARINI NAGENDRA 'The first in an
