Publisher's Summary
Random House presents the audiobook edition of Smoke and Ashes by Abir Mukherjee, read by Simon Bubb.
From the winner of the 2017 CWA Historical Dagger Award.
India, 1921. Haunted by his memories of the Great War, Captain Sam Wyndham is battling a serious addiction to opium that he must keep secret from his superiors in the Calcutta police force.
When Sam is summoned to investigate a grisly murder, he is stunned at the sight of the body: he’s seen this before. Last night, in a drug addled haze, he stumbled across a corpse with the same ritualistic injuries. It seems like there’s a deranged killer on the loose. Unfortunately for Sam, the corpse was in an opium den, and revealing his presence there could cost him his career.
With the aid of his quick-witted Indian Sergeant, Surrender-not Banerjee, Sam must try to solve the two murders, all the while keeping his personal demons secret, before somebody else turns up dead.
Set against the backdrop of the fervent fight for Indian independence, and rich with the atmosphere of 1920s Calcutta, Smoke and Ashes is the brilliant new historical mystery in this award-winning series.
Critic Reviews

Nail biting narrative
Another fast paced whodunnit with a rich tapestry of the Indian independence movement in 1920s Calcutta, in the background. The characters are compelling in the author's signature style. None more so, than the central pair, each fallible, contrary and all the more endearing because of their imperfections. Relatable because they face difficult choices, like the ordinary people who would have lived through those turbulent times, and face the trials and tribulations of the choices they make. Once again the narration by Simon Bubb is almost flawless. He makes the story come to life! Looking forward to enjoying the next one in the series!
