Becker is a British traveler in trouble. Madhurima is a rising star police officer. In these three explosive tales, the two join forces to investigate the city's crooked high society.

On the way, they take on deluded would-be messiahs in search of Mother Teresa's stolen millions, encounter fanatics, circus freaks and cannibals, fall in and out of love and pay homage to one of the world's most beautiful and toughest cities.

Amidst passion, murder and mayhem, is there room for two lovers driven by justice and compassion?

Tom Vater's 'Kolkata Noir' is a riveting crime fiction cycle of three novellas set in the past, the present and the future.
