In 1825 William Savage is an official in the East India Company, committed to the people of his remote district and British rule in India. During the course of his duties he witnesses a double murder and stumbles upon the society of the thuggee, a secret cult that has flourished in India for 200 years and murdered over a million people. When Savage discovers a mass grave, including the body of a recently killed British officer, his investigation leads him to infiltrate, while disguised, the cult. He learns their secrets but finds himself drawn to the ecstasy of ritual killing. Can his sense of honour prevail, can he destroy the thuggees?

Recensione:
The story, which is as exciting as any I have read for a long time... Readable, vivid and spectacular. --C.P. Snow, Sunday Times
Simply as gripping exotic tales, his books read splendidly still... but they deserve to be read also as a revelation to the young and a reminder to the old of a vanished world. --The Tablet
He organizes and controls the swift-moving, exciting narrative with the unobtrusive brilliance of a first-class military strategist. --The Observer
