ABOUT BOOK :-
The first of three rip-roaring adventure novels introducing Blake and Avery, a Watson and Holmes duo for the 1830s and 40s. Vividly written and full of mystery and adventure,The Strangler Vine should appeal to anyone who enjoyed The Ruby in the Smoke by Philip Pullman, or Guy Ritchies Sherlock Holmes.Introduces series characters Blake and Avery, whose adventures will be continued in book twoThe Infidel Stain. These books have a fascinating setting across an extraordinary period: beginning in 1837 when the horse was the fastest way to travel; they will take the reader through to 1850 when the telegraph had begun to disperse information across continents almost instantaneously.India. 1837. William Avery, a fresh young officer in the East India Company, arrives in Calcutta expecting to be seduced by its ancient traditions. Nine months later he hasn't learnt a word of Hindoostani, is in terrible debt, and longs to return home before the cholera epidemic finishes him off. . A few months earlier, so rumour has it, the infamous and disgraced poet Xavier Mountstuart leaves Calcutta in order to track down the last oFthe remaining Thugs, a sinister secret fraternity notorious for strangling thousands of travellers. But after reaching the kingdom of Jubbulpore, Mountstuart mysteriously disappears...Then the Company leads Avery to Jeremiah Blake, an unruly ex- Captain who has embraced native life. Their mission? To cover 700 miles of treacherous road in three weeks and find Mountstuart. A more unlikely duo couldnt be imagined, but they must bury their differences if they wish to succeed - for all is not as it seems, and at the rotten heart of everything lies the secret of the macabre Thugs...
