About This Book

The narrative follows a pair of visiting companions and a princely host in an Indian hill palace as social shooting parties give way to darker discoveries: an ancient fortified hill conceals a buried city, rumours of hidden jewels and political plotting, and expeditions into the jungle lead to encounters with dangerous wildlife and dramatic rescue scenes. Adventure sequences alternate with investigation and palace intrigue, blending hunt, exploration of underground vaults, and the gradual exposure of motives that threaten the ruling household.
