What is Inspector Ghote Plays a Joker about?

Inspector Ganesh Ghote is back home in India, on assignment to prevent a murder. A most unusual murder, for a flamingo is the suspected target – the last of four birds presented to the Bombay zoo by the U.S. consul. And Inspector Ghote fails his mission: he is on the scene when the flamingo is shot through the heart. The culprit has escaped unseen, and the Inspector is left to decide whether the killing was an anti-American act or a practical joke. When he learns of two other very elaborate practical jokes recently played in Bombay – one turning the Derby favorite into a donkey, and the other turning a distinguished scientist into a laughingstock – he gives up politics as the motive. That leaves him with the double mission of finding the joker – and then of finding the joker’s murderer. H. R. F. Keating has produced a truly imaginative and intriguing tale – one in which India comes through in full color with a full-bodied story to match – a mystery delightfully worthy of the ingenious and ingenuous Inspector.
