Preview Death of a Sahib

Description:
The deviousness distinguishing Englishman Clive Egleton's thriller plots extends, in "Death of a Sahib," to the design of the novel itself. The low-key private eye exercise originally promised by "Sahib" metamorphoses -- gradually and subtly -- into a savage, complex, whirlwind story of international intrigue.

When Egleton's leading character, a former Nottingham cop named Henderson, is hired to discover what happened to the missing trustee of a London-based Anglo-Indian charitable organization, the gumshoe's search takes him to India's Punjab region, where violence reigns, triggered by its Sikh religious community's demand for a separate Sikh nation.

Tension and excitement escalate as Henderson uncovers a conspiracy involving illegal arms shipments to the Sikhs and, back in London, involvement in the chicanery by bigwigs in the Secret Intelligence Service.

This well-known suspense writer's newest has not been published in the United States, but is available in its British edition in Canada. Egleton followers addicted to his intelligent, professional, skillful novels would find crossing the Niagara River for "Sahib" a rewarding trip.
