Synopsis

"A spicy quest tale in an India at once modern and ancient."―Publishers Weekly
At 27, Jason Talley of Corning, New York, leads an orderly life, processing loans for a mortgage company. Its warmest spot is his friendship with Sriram Sundaram and his lively wife Vidya. One night Sriram secretly confides he's planning a trip home to India to visit his mother and asks Jason to hold her gift, a gorgeous red silk sari. The very next evening Jason arrives home to sirens and cops―Sriram and Vidya are dead. The cops call it a murder/suicide.
Grieving, Jason decides to fulfill Sriram's quest and books himself a trip to India. There's a gorgeous young train buff named Rachel on the tour, and before he knows it, Jason has cast aside all semblance of order and embarked with her on a perilous journey.

About this title

About the Author

When he’s not traveling the globe in the search of exotic, tax-deductible settings for his mysteries, Charles Benoit, a former high school teacher, likes to spend his time scuba diving and attempting to play the saxophone. Charles’ Franklin Award-winning debut, Relative Danger, was nominated for an Edgar™ and a Barry™. The Denver Post called Out of Order (2006) “the kind of book Alfred Hitchcock would have filmed.”  His third mystery, Noble Lies, is a post-Tsunami missing person adventure (2008) and is the darling of fans and critics alike, pulling in yet another stared review from Publishers Weekly.
