The atmosphere of the dying days of the Raj is colourfully captured.' Susanna Yager, <i>Sunday Telegraph</i><br /> <br /> 'The historical background is as fascinating as the murder. Stiff upperlip soldiers, American heiresses, handsome Afghan tribesmen -- they are all here in spades. A great blood and guts blockbuster.' <i>Guardian</i><br /> <br /> 'Solidly plotted throughout, with lots of energy and all period accoutrements up to scratch and true to the Raj.' <i>Literary Review</i>.
