Nirmala Shahani, only daughter of an Indian magnate, has dropped out of the California college where her wealthy father has sent her to put the cap on her education before her marriage to the sone of his business partner. The private eye engaged by the anxious Mr. Shahani has reported that she's living in an ashram near Los Angeles. Her father already knows that she's cleaned out her bank account! So Inspector Ghote finds himself in Beverly Hills trying to persuade her to return with him to Bombay, and with the help of Fred Hoskins, a beefy ex-cop - attempting to prove that the Swami With No Name is a confidence trickster instead of an Indian holy man. But Ghote is faced with a puzzle to rival the legendary rope tricks of his native bazaars: how a man could be killed and the murder weapon be made to vanish in a windowless room whose only exit was watched...by the good Inspector himself!
