SYNOPSIS: “George Sansi may be the only honest policeman in Bombay, such is the extent of that teeming city’s corruption. His mother is a celebrated Indian feminist: his father a former general in the British army. Born and raised in Bombay, Sansi’s blue eyes and Oxford credentials announce his English heritage. They also prevent Sansi, educated as a lawyer, from being hired by Bombay’s law firms. An outsider in his own land, he joins the police force and proves that intelligence and honour can succeed where political string-pulling and behind-the-scenes deal-making fail.”
