The Fourth Quadrant tells the tale of Anil Patel. A series of
professional disasters force Anil (24, single and luckless) to swallow
his pride and join the family business. But this is not the usual sort
of family business. Not only is murder casually dropped into the job
description, but our hero continually finds himself in situations that
would have lesser men running for an easier line of work. Driven by
financial necessity and the institutional lunacy of a multinational
corporation, he leaves his home in Manchester and embarks on a trip to
India, a return to his roots that will change his life forever. But
there is more to life than business. Anil is also driven by the love of
a girl. A love that grows stronger with each day of absence. The Fourth
Quadrant describes a road trip in which the outer limits of love, stress
and companion animal welfare are seen through the shimmering heat of
Rajasthan. The people and events described will bring smiles of
recognition to all.
