About this title

From the Back Cover:

A DEADLY POISON IS AT WORK IN THE HEART OF THE INDIAN STATE...

Patrick Hyde had only a simple task to perform in Delhi – to confirm fellow agent Philip Cass really had murdered the film star wife of an Indian Cabinet Minister. Cass's guilt established, he could be conveniently forgotten by the embarrassed British Government...

But Cass protests his innocence, claiming he's being framed and that the dead woman's husband is a drug-smuggler. Hyde's problem is that he believes Cass – and suddenly nothing is simple any longer...

The drug-smuggler becomes Prime Minister and Cass suspiciously 'disappears'. Hyde finds himself caught up in the most dangerous game of his career: playing with men as deadly as cobras for the highest stakes – the future of India itself...

'When it comes to keeping the story moving and stoking up the excitement, Mr Thomas knows his business'
