About This Book

Dominic Felse investigates the violent deaths of two landowners in India in this classic mystery from the bestselling author of the Cadfael Chronicles.

Edgar Award and CWA Diamond Dagger Award–Winning Author

Landlords are never popular, and there is little mourning when the greedy, ruthless Mahendralal Bakhle is blown up on his boat on the beautiful Periyar Lake. Suspicion falls on the boat-boy who died with him, but Dominic Felse, one of a party of young tourists visiting the landlord's game reserve, is not convinced of the boy's guilt. And when the party moves on to the next destination, the terror pursues all the way to the southernmost tip of India.

The police blame local terrorists targeting wealthy landlords, but what would that have to do with a group of innocent travelers? To get to the bottom of this trail of violence, Dominic Felse must unravel a deadly Indian rope trick of hatred and murder.

Death to the Landlords is the 11th book in the Felse Investigations, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
