Beecham House plot
Delhi 1795. John Beecham, a former soldier in the East India Company, is determined to leave the past behind and start a new life as an independent trader. He takes up residence in a large mansion. The staff is shocked to discover that their mysterious new master is not only English, but also has a son named August, a baby of mixed descent. John meets Margaret, an English governess, with whom he has an immediate connection, but others in Delhi are suspicious. He is soon confronted by General Castillon, a French mercenary in the Emperor's service who questions John's motive and is determined to prevent him from getting a trade permit.
