Starring "the toughest, most sympathetic heroine since "Smilla's Sense of Snow"" ("Harper's Bazaar"), this thriller set in exotic India tells the intriguing story of a British journalist whose life is put in jeopardy after a brutal murder.
In this highly detailed and well-researched literary thriller, Roz Bengal returns to her native India in response to a letter from her pregnant sister who is afraid that her husband, a film producer, murdered his first wife. As she investigates her brother-in-law, Roz gradually reveals her own self-destructive and quixotic nature.
