The Burning Ghats

This is the third of Paul Mann's George Sansi Mysteries. As a frequent visitor to India, I find these books about the underside of modern Indian society absolutely fascinating. Mann leads the reader into the crevices of Indian life whether the drug scene, Bollywood, or in this one the corporate world and reveals aspects of the culture from the noble to the sinful. Characters from central to tertiary are finely wrought and memorable. I would recommend that the books be read in the sequence of their publication since the main characters grow and deepen in a very satisfying way that adds considerably to the stories being told. I recommend all three books without reservation (Ganja Coast and Season of the Monsoon). For me they are everything a mystery, police procedural, and adventure should be!

Great Reading!!!

Believe me...if you love mystery/thrillers, you'll love this book. Paul Mann has done it again, adding more suspence and adventure to the George Sansi trilogy. Can't wait for the next one to come out. Even if you've never read the previous books, you'll still enjoy this one. Hope you like it as much as I did!
