A witty and warmly suspenseful entry in H. R. F. Keating's beloved mystery series, Go West, Inspector Ghote transplants the endearingly conscientious Bombay detective Ganesh Ghote far from his familiar surroundings and into the sprawling, disorienting landscape of Los Angeles. The novel chronicles Ghote's fish-out-of-water mission to California, where he is tasked with tracking down a young Indian woman who has fallen under the sway of a cult-like guru, navigating a culture that is at once dazzling and deeply alien to him. Keating masterfully uses the clash between Ghote's modest, rule-bound sensibility and the freewheeling excess of American life to generate both sharp comedy and genuine tension. The result is a mystery that is as much a study in character and cross-cultural collision as it is a tightly plotted detective story, illustrating why Inspector Ghote remains one of crime fiction's most quietly compelling heroes.
