The Last Monsoon
A dead man cannot be tried for treason.
The scene
The old Portuguese governor's villa, Panaji, October 1962. Goa was liberated from Portugal ten months ago, and the villa is now a government guesthouse, caught between two worlds, hosting a welcome dinner for the new Indian district administrator.
The victim
Senhor Armando Figueiredo, 58, a former colonial tax collector, found face-down in the villa's ornamental pool. The local verdict is accidental drowning. Yours is the job of proving otherwise.
The suspects
- Dona Bela Figueiredo (Wife)
- Rajan Kamat (District Administrator)
- Father Lourenco (Parish Priest)
- Sushila Naik (Housekeeper)
- Inspector Deshpande (Police)
Every one of them is hiding something, and their alibis form a single shared timeline. Somewhere in it, one statement cannot possibly be true. Find the contradiction and you have found the killer. This is as far as any file goes without spoiling it, the rest is yours to work out.
