Leslie Forbes thundered throughout the world with her novel “Ice of Bombay”. Having sold more than 2 million copies and been translated into many languages, the book, which has been compared to Umberto Eco's Foucault's Pendulum and Peter Heeg's Smilla and Her Sense of Snow, set a new standard for the intellectual thriller genre. BBC TV journalist , in whose veins Indian-Scottish blood flows, comes to her historical homeland. She was called on the journey by a letter from her half-sister, who had once married a famous Indian director; she suspects that he is involved in the death of his first wife. And so Rosalind Bengali finds herself in Bombay - the center of cinematic life, a city where even taxi drivers sprinkle movie quotes and can easily list ten classic chase scenes. Where crimes, incest and prostitution coexist with ancient sects. Where they wait with horror for the approaching tropical monsoon - and with no less horror watch the series of mysterious murders stunning the metropolis. In Bollywood, amidst glitter and poverty, Shakespeare's "The Tempest" is being filmed, and a real storm is approaching Bombay. And no one can hide from it!
