INSPECTOR GHOTE GOES BY TRAIN

By

Gentle Ganesh Ghote, so mild you might underestimate his tenaciousness, takes a long trip from his native Bombay to Calcutta and back to apprehend a ""confidence-trickster"" presumably in jail in Calcutta, actually -- he suspects -- facing him in his railway compartment. His adversary goads him, drugs him, and eludes him even in these confined quarters and there's a clattering chase at the close. A very delicate diddle which quite sneaks up on you.
