In 1890s Bombay, a murdered silversmith and his partner holding the bloody knife set the stage for a mystery that unveils colonial India's soul. Join author Nev March, born in India herself, as she guides host Blaine DeSantis through the cultural labyrinth of "The Silversmith's Puzzle," where mixed-race detective Captain Jim and his high-society wife Lady Diana navigate forbidden marriages and rigid hierarchies while racing to save an innocent man from the gallows. Beyond the whodunit, discover forgotten historical gems like the "Bombay dog riots" and the real-life business pioneers who inspired characters. This isn't just a murder mystery - it's an intimate journey into a vanished world where solving a crime means understanding the complex cultural tensions that still echo today.
