Beyond Reasonable Doubt

More about the book

When Salman Curtis set foot on the steamer bound from London to Calcutta, he had no inkling of the adventures that awaited him as an Anglo-Indian police officer. His postings take him from sleepy villages to bustling towns, from panchayats to court rooms, from investigating petty crimes to heart-wrenching murders and dacoity. This book describes some of the most horrifying crimes he becomes a witness to, charting in detail the investigative techniques that led them to find the culprit. Unfolding the life and times of late 19th century India, Beyond Reasonable Doubt is a well-researched compendium of investigations undertaken under the British Raj, that laid the foundation for many crime-solving techniques used till date.
