Come and play in India ... In Cypress Village, Oregon, a serial arsonist holds the residents hostage. Too afraid to leave their homes or fall asleep at night, citizens are frantic for a swift end to the crimes that threaten their tourism, properties, livelihoods and lives. With the advent of a long, dry summer, Lieutenant Carolyn Latham desperately strives to capture an elusive criminal who is always one step ahead of the law. Across the globe, in isolated and impoverished Indian villages, people struggle to cope with the woes befalling them: illness, drought, crushing debt. Panchayats, assemblies of wise elders, are held to address the mounting fears of the community. The elders use the methods they know best to rout out what they believe to be witches in their midst. When Carolyn receives a series of terrifying e-mails detailing unthinkable abominations in India, she recognizes the deft, diabolical hand of a persistent and ruthless nemesis. His invitation, to come and play in India, may be impossible to resist. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

Whilst this book features a former character…and a former criminal…fear not, Vasas-Brown has makes these books stand alone very skilfully. And for those readers who have met the characters before, there’s no point at which you say ‘yawn, yes, I know all this’.
Dear old Hamlet said, ‘Tis now the very witching time of night, When churchyards yawn and hell itself breathes out.’ And in this story, it does…it so does.
The one piece of scum who’s managed to slip through Latham’s fingers before, re-enters her life. Despite having to get to the bottom of a series of fires, obviously the work of an arsonist, in her home town, her obsession and dogged determination to catch her nemesis is too powerful to resist when he sends her some rather creepy emails and reports of some awful events in India. An evil man, with a hideous proclivity, has got to be stopped and she is the only person to do this.
Vasas-Brown does everything to perfection: she develops her characters, structures a faultless plot, creates the right emotions for any scene, whether it’s criminal, romantic, sad, humorous or descriptive. It’s a book you wish you had the luxury of reading in one sitting. Annoyingly, I didn’t have that luxury, but the best thing, for a few days, about going to bed, was the thought of diving into Carolyn Latham’s quest.
Probably the worst thing about this book is finishing it. It’s impossible to get to the end of this author’s books without craving more. (
