Produktbeschreibung

Winner of the Crime Writers' Association First Novel Award

When security officer George Sinclair is sent to investigate a murder in Delhi, his orders are to get it cleaned up quickly. But he soon discovers things are complicated. Hugo Frencham, Britain's Head of Chancery at the High Commission, is found stabbed in his bungalow.

Conflicting leads indicate it was either a sex game pushed too far or a botched robbery. At a loss, the theft of Tibetan artifacts from Frenchman's extensive collection leads Sinclair to Janey Somers, an expert on Tibetan culture.

Together they travel to Tibet, and discover the depths of Frenchman's murky second life; involving currency dealing, artifact smuggling, and links to Soviet Russia.

'A really fine first novel... a genuine surprise in the tail' TLS
