Today’s Riot Rundown is sponsored by Pegasus Books’ A Necessary Evil by Abir Mukherjee.
India, 1920: When the heir to the throne of Sambalpore is assassinated in the presence of Captain Sam Wyndham and Sergeant “Surrender-Not” Banerjee, they discover a kingdom rife with suppressed conflict. Prince Adhir’s modern attitudes may have upset the religious elements of his country, while his brother, now in line for the throne, appears to be a feckless playboy.
As Wyndham and Banerjee desperately try to unravel the mystery behind the assassination, they become entangled in a dangerous world where those in power live by their own rules—and those who cross their paths pay with their lives.
