A bride disappears. A scandal brews. The Maharaja is back on the case.When Maharaja Sikander Singh of Rajpore sets off for Bombay to attend the wedding of his former tutor, the eccentric Peter Rowan, he expects a charming interlude of champagne toasts and seaside soirees. But his plans unravel quickly when the bride-to-be, a fresh-off-the-boat English memsahib, disappears before the vows can be exchanged.Soon, Sikander is swept into the city’s heady undercurrents of ambition, romance and deceit, navigating colonial clubs, seedy opium dens and the murky depths of the empire’s underbelly. With his Parisian companion Helene barely speaking to him and the British authorities intent on sending him packing, he must solve the riddle of the vanished bride before scandal, or something far more sinister, brings everything crashing down.Stylish, satirical and soaked in intrigue, The Missing Memsahib is a deliciously deadly historical whodunit with the Raj’s most reluctant royal detective at its heart.
