Synopsis
Beautiful widow Joan D'Silva is at Calcutta's Howrah Station, fleeing Calcutta with her 11-year-old son Errol. On the same train is Lakshmi, a charismatic, sensual, and powerful hijira prostitute. Both women are fleeing to Lucknow in northern India to escape danger, but soon their lives will become entangled in a web of corruption and blackmail. Who is responsible for the poisoning at the factory? Is it the Workers Revolutionary Movement, the Children of God led by the charismatic Swami Naik, or another group entirely? With the ineffectual Detective Inspector Mallothra unable to solve the mystery, it falls to Joan, her friends, and her son to unmask the perpetrator.

Mrs D'Silva's Detective Instincts and the Lucknow Ransom
Vendeur : Rarewaves USA, OSWEGO, IL, Etats-Unis
Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Beautiful widow Joan D'Silva is at Howrah Station, fleeing Calcutta with her 11-year-old son Errol. Also on the same train is Laxhimi, a notorious hijira prostitute: charismatic, sensual and powerful. They are both running away to Lucknow to escape danger, but soon their lives will become entangled in a web of corruption and blackmail. Who is responsible for the poisoning at the factory? Is it the Workers Revolutionary Movement, the Children of God under the sway of the charismatic Swami Naik, or someone else entirely? If only the police could help. But Detective Inspector Mallothra has based his investigative style on Mickey Spillane novels so it's down to Joan, her friends, and of course Errol, to unmask the perpetrator. With a cast of colourful characters, this new novel by Glen Peters is inspired by his youth in the dwindling Anglo-Indian community. It is a witty, vivid tale of intrigue, immersed in the sights, sounds, smells and especially the tastes of 1960s India. N° de réf. du vendeur LU-9781910901229
