“Begins very well with a mass suicide (or is it?) by a secret sect.
We then drift off to the relationship of the title.
I never felt in touch with these two unlikely lovers.

“A writer is spending time in Calcutta, he is suffering from writers block (the dead hand).
He meets a saintly American woman who asks for his help when a body turns up.
This isn’t however a whodunit, but an enjoyable story of love and manipulation. Very good.
