Inspector Ghote comes to London... The Indian police inspector is to attend an international conference on drug smuggling; and in cold, drizzling London he is faced with his first case outside India. It's a very odd case. The girl, Ranee, niece of relatives of Ghote who live in London, has vanished - kidnapped, murdered, so her relatives allege, by a notorious pop singer. And Ghote is hounded by the relatives in trying to find Ranee - known for her brilliance as The Peacock.
