Death in the Air

Ram Murali

4.9/5 (13051 ratings)

Description:Ro Krishna is the American son of Indian parents, educated at the finest institutions, equally at home in London’s poshest clubs and on the squash court alike, with a rapier wit and hair as good as his taste. As the novel opens, we meet Ro at a birthday party in Bermuda, adrift in the wake of an explosive exit from his high-powered job. A series of random encounters steers him, by way of London and Paris, to Paradise, otherwise known as Samsara: a world-class spa nestled in the foothills of the Indian Himalayas, where massage therapists, nutritionists, and yoga instructors tend to the global cosmopolitan elite.Samsara is the kind of place where guests clad in white kurta pajamas communicate via hand-delivered note cards on personalized stationery. They traverse the extensive property’s bright green lawns under a milky blue sky, on their way from their private villa to their daily steam, or to a private meditation class, centered and unstressed, as smiling and serene as the white morning fog that eventually gives way to day. A person could be spiritually reborn in a place like this. Even a very rich person.But a person – or several – could also die there. Samsara is the Sanskrit word for the karmic cycle of death and rebirth, after all. And as it turns out, the colorful cast of characters Ro meets—including a misanthropic politician and his wife, the daughter of one of India’s richest men; an American movie star preparing for his Bollywood crossover debut; a beautiful heiress to a family jewel fortune that barely survived Partition; and a bumbling white dude inexplicably there to teach meditation—harbors a murderer among them. Maybe more than one.As the death toll rises, Ro, a lawyer by training and a sleuth by circumstance, becomes embroiled in a vicious cycle of tensions between haves and have-nots, East and West, guided by forces beyond his ken—karma, perhaps?—toward a resolution that may well save the soul of India itself.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
