Лед Бомбея : Роман

With her novel "Ice of Bombay" Leslie Forbes thundered all over the world. With over 2 million copies sold and translated into many languages, this book, which has been compared to Umberto Eco's Foucault's Pendulum and Peter Heg's Smilla and Her Sense of Snow, set a new benchmark for the intellectual thriller genre. A BBC television journalist with Indo-Scottish blood in her veins arrives in her historical homeland. A letter from her half-sister, who had once married a famous Indian director, called her on her way; she suspects that he was involved in the death of his first wife. And now 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 crime, incest and prostitution coexist with ancient sects. Where they are waiting with horror for the impending tropical monsoon - and with no less horror they are watching a series of mysterious murders in the stunning metropolis. In Bollywood, amid glamor and poverty, Shakespeare's The Tempest is being filmed, and a real storm is coming to Bombay. And no one can hide from her!
