THE BURNING GROUNDS Wyndham & Banerjee, Book 6

Narrators Simon Bubb and Mikhail Sen flawlessly re-create 1920s Calcutta as they portray Imperial Police Force Captain Sam Wyndham and Sergeant Suren Banerjee. Their animated and strongly differing viewpoints enliven this procedural. Bubb's English expat, Sam, joins Sen's Calcuttan, Suran, to discover who murdered a beloved philanthropist and movie mogul whose body was dumped--with his throat slit--on a traditional ghat. The spirited renderings of Sam's and Suren's parallel lives adds appeal as Calcutta's sights, sounds, and smells become seductive supporting characters. The influences of British rule add provocative historical context. Audio augments this mystery's diverse characters, amiable humor, and surprising conclusion. [Published: JANUARY 2026]
