Used Book – The Vengeance of Khali, B. Cleverly

Will the strange curse that has befallen the English garrison of Panikhat, north of Calcutta, claim a sixth victim this March 1922? Fires, drownings, fatal falls, and snakebites follow one another with a disturbing regularity that can no longer be accidental. Hardened as they are, the lancers of the Bengal Greys – and their wives – are now overcome by an irresistible sense of dread, especially since the surrounding indigenous tribes have never been truly subjugated and the Great War has shaken the British Empire to its core. Thus, Joe Sandilands, dispatched by Scotland Yard to assist the local police, will have to marshal all his knowledge and energy to unmask the serial killer who lurks around Panikhat, periodically collecting his toll like an infernal deity.
