Description

Calcutta, 1837. The East India Company's grip on India is tenuous at best, and its most notorious son, Xavier Mountstuart, has vanished into thin air. Junior officer William Avery is sent to find him, paired with the enigmatic Jeremiah Blake. Their unlikely partnership is put to the test as they delve into the dark world of the Thugs, a sect of Kali-worshippers who strangle innocent travellers by the roadside. As Avery and Blake navigate the treacherous landscape of Company India, they uncover a web of secrets and unanswered questions. What drew Mountstuart to the Thugs, and who can be trusted in this treacherous game? Avery's search for the truth will take him to the very limits of his endurance, and he will have to fight for his life in defence of a truth he may wish he had never discovered. M.J. Carter is a former journalist and author of two acclaimed works of non-fiction, and this is his first foray into the world of fiction.
