'Praise for Ronan Bennett: Bennett's writing is as lush and sensual as ripe mangoes. His characters are complex and sympathetic. The tone, which is perfectly pitched, and the exotic setting collude to evoke an era of colonial decadence' - Financial Times 'A writer to watch, a genuine and gifted novelist' - Independent 'A clever and exciting thriller . . . a crime novel that's both literary and gripping, a rare treat' - Daily Mail
