A STRAITS SETTLEMENTA SUPERINTENDENT LE FANU MYSTERYBrian Stoddart

In the third installment of the Le Fanu Mystery series, the intrepid superintendent is promoted to Inspector-General of Police in 1920s Madras, which proves to be more boring than he had en-visaged.Instead of pushing papers across his desk, the Le Fanu focuses on the disappearance of a sen-ior Indian Civil Service offi cer and an apparently unrelated murder. As the two incidents inter-twine, the world weary detective is drawn into the worlds of indentured labor recruitment and antiquities theft..But as bureaucratic politics make his position vulnerable, his superiors send the intrepid po-liceman across the Bay of Bengal to pursue the cases in the Straits Settlements. Le Fanu imme-diately becomes embroiled in the activities of secret societies and the British colonial intel-ligence services. The appearance of a myste-rious Chinese woman renders his professional life uncertain as he wonders anew about the British imperial future.
