His novel "Bombay Ice" Leslie Forbes has thundered for the whole world. Which sold more than 2 million copies and translated into many languages, this book which was compared with "Foucault's Pendulum" by Umberto Eco and "Smilla and her sense of snow" by Peter Høeg, has set a new benchmark of the genre "intellectual Thriller."
Journalist bi-Bi-si, which flows in the veins of Indian-Scottish blood, comes to their historical homeland. In a way its called the letter's sister, released once married to famous Indian film Director; she suspects that he was involved in the death of his first wife. And here Rosalind Bengali is in Bombay, the heartland of cinematic life, a city where even the taxi drivers spit kinotsitat and can easily enumerate ten classic scenes of the chase. Where crimes, incest and prostitution are combined with the ancient sects. Where are dreading the impending tropical monsoon - and with equal horror of watching stunning metropolis a string of mysterious killings. In bollywood, among the glitz and poverty, filming Shakespeare's "the Tempest", and in Bombay there's a storm coming true. And not to hide from anyone!
