Major Max Devlin is on a joint SIS/CIA assignment to train an elite unit of India's All-Tibetan Special Frontier Force – the 22s – for covert ops inside Tibet. A welcome escape to Chakrata in North India turns explosive when his US counterpart earns himself a shamanic curse.
Their host, an Indian cabinet peopled by self-serving ministers, is split on where national interests lie. A deviously ambitious intelligence officer waits in the wings. Local politicians whose salacious sons perish at the hands of Devlin and his Gurkha sergeant, Deepraj, are in vengeful pursuit.
Once across the border and high on the Himalayas, death and torture await the 22s. Caught in the geopolitical web are three remarkable women – two officers and a combat surgeon – whose courage, faith and skill will be tested to the limits.
Faced with a clash between his principles as a soldier and his cherished career in the Royal Gurkha Rifles, Devlin must decide how the die is cast.
Neville Sarony is an Anglo-Irish barrister who served in the 7th Gurkha Rifles, graduated LLB (Hons) at the London School of Economics and was called to the English Bar.

From 1986 to 1998 he was chairman of a group of travel companies in Kathmandu. He is now a practising silk in Hong Kong and also has a home in Spain. Sarony has written two previous novels in the Max Devlin series The Dharma Expedient and Devlins Chakra and a memoir entitled Counsel in the Clouds.
