Read full description of the books:

Calcutta, 1837. The East India Company rules India, and its most notorious and celebrated son, Xavier Mountstuart, has gone missing. William Avery, a junior officer in the Company's army, is sent to find him, in the unlikely company of the enigmatic Jeremiah Blake. A more mismatched duo couldn't be imagined, but they must bury their differences as they are caught up in a search that seems bound to end in failure. What was it that so captivated Mountstuart about the ‘Thugs’, the murderous sect of Kali-worshippers who strangle innocent travellers by the roadside? And why is everything shrouded in such secrecy?
