Overview
"In the both casual and cutthroat world of Indian higher education, today's student virtually demands the right to cheat, as a necessary and even commendable ruse. Nevertheless, the theft and sale of crucial exam papers in statistical techniques from the most deplorable of the outlying colleges of Bombay University has given New Delhi more than ample grounds for concern - and the consequent need for the practiced inquisitorial hand of Inspector Ghote." "At the outset, the inspector must consider two seemingly imponderable facts. One, the room that stored the tests had been securely locked at all times, with the sole key in the possession of the principal himself. Two, the chief suspect, a student, is in a coma, apparently the result of an aborted suicide attempt." "As Ghote follows what leads he can, he finds himself embroiled in the often farcical world of academic politics - and watching revolutionary student protests spark a high-level kidnapping and raise the specter of murder. Yet paradoxically, the ultimate solution to the case may well lie in its mounting mystifications. All Ghote needs are his instincts, luck, the insights of his ever intrusive wife, Protima, to get an A on his report. The trick is to do it before cheaters turn into killers."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
