Produktbeschreibung

In the middle of the tourist season in tropical South India, four American women meet over breakfast at the Hotel Delite, managed by Anita Ray, an Indian-American young woman, and her aunt. Two of the Americans, Jean and Marge, are nurses traveling together; Emily is traveling with friends, and Candy is traveling alone. Jean boasts she is on her way to Thailand, and from there plans to cross into Burma on a secret humanitarian mission, her second. Everyone is suitably impressed, including Anita.

But within twenty-four house at the resort, one of the women is deathly ill and another is missing. Anita can find no cause for the first woman's sudden bad turn, and a search of the area turns up nothing more than a fragment of a sweater the missing woman was last seen wearing.

While Anita continues to search for the missing woman, she must also contend with a man shadowing her and a suspicious series of encounters in the hotel ledger, payments to a mysterious employee she has never seen. When Anita is attacked by an unknown man, two of the least likely helpers come to her aid, offering a terrifying simple solution.

For all their beauty and lushness, the tropics can have unexpected effects on newcomers, some of them permanent. This story opens up a little-known world of life behind the scenes in an exotic setting.

Autorenporträt

Susan Oleksiw writes the Anita Ray series featuring Indian American photographer Anita Ray, who has appeared in two books, Under the Eye of Kali (2010) and The Wrath of Shiva (2012). She also writes the Mellingham series featuring Chief of Police Joe Silva (Murder in Mellingham, 1993, is the first book in the series), now available in all eBook formats.

Susan compiled A Reader's Guide to the Classic British Mystery (1988), after spending years and years reading crime fiction and taking notes. Talking about her favorite books with friends just wasn't enough, so she offered her list of books to a publisher.

Susan was consulting editor for The Oxford Companion to Crime and Mystery Writing (1999), which is a wonderful reference on all sorts of topics related to crime fiction.

In addition to writing and reviewing crime fiction, Oleksiw was a co-founder of Level Best Books, which continues to thrive under new ownership, and The Larcom Press, which published The Larcom Review and a number of mysteries before its founders decided to move on to other challenges.

Susan lives and writes in Massachusetts with her husband, Michael Oleksiw, an award-winning photographer.
