As he delves deeper into the case, Edgehill uncovers a web of intrigue and deceit that leads him to suspect that the prince's own family may be involved in the theft.Along the way, Edgehill falls in love with the prince's beautiful daughter, Leela, and must navigate the complex social and cultural norms of colonial India as he tries to solve the case and win her heart.The Tear of Kalee is a thrilling adventure story that combines elements of mystery, romance, and exoticism to create a compelling tale of intrigue and suspense set against the backdrop of colonial India.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
