The last thing Danny wants to see published is his obituary
The year is 1975. Danny Jacobs is an ambitious, young American
journalist who's just arrived in Bombay for a new assignment. He's soon
caught up in the chaos of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's domestic "
Emergency."
Willy Smets is Danny's enigmatic expat neighbor. He's a charming man,
but with suspicious connections. As a monsoon drenches Bombay, Danny
falls hard for Sushmita, Smets's beguiling and clever lover-- and the
infatuation is mutual.
"The Emergency," a virtual coup by the prime minister, is only the first
twist in the high-stakes drama of Danny's new life in India. The
assassination of a police officer by a Marxist extremist, as well as
Danny's obsession with the inscrutable Sushmita, conspire to put his
career-- and life-- in jeopardy. And, of course, the temptations of
Willy Smets's seductive personality sit squarely at the heart of the
matter.
Democracy is fragile and the lines of loyalty and betrayal often cross
and cannot be untangled.
Perfect for fans of Ken Follett and Steve Berry
