Product Description

From the Author

NY Times review
Whoever reviewed The Burning Ghats for Marilyn Stasio's crime column in the NY Times couldn't have read the book - or the jacket cover. The hero's new girlfriend is not the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister is a man. Sansi has not turned gay. Sansi has an affair with an old flame who has become environment minister, but as events show, she does not become his girlfriend. If Amazon is going to reprint a review it should check that the review is honest. I don't mind a pan if it's an honest pan - but for that the reviewer has to read the book. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Reading!!!, 11 Mar 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Burning Ghats (Hardcover)
Believe me...if you love mystery/thrillers, you'll love this book. Paul Mann has done it again, adding more suspence and adventure to the George Sansi trilogy. Can't wait for the next one to come out. Even if you've never read the previous books, you'll still enjoy this one. Hope you like it as much as I did!

4.0 out of 5 stars Anxiously awaiting the next Sansi novel!, 2 Jun 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: The Burning Ghats (Hardcover)
I can just imagine Paul Mann as a boy camping out at night with a friend (possibly a young Steven King), huddled under a pup-tent with a flashlight, telling horror stories and giggling about "greasy, grimy, gopher guts." Though he's now traded in the flashlight for a searchlight trained on India's bewilderingly corrupt social and political machinery in his series of George Sansi novels, he still includes gopher-gut gore to make real some of the horrific abuses in India's systems. The Burning Ghats is the darkest of the three Sansi mystery novels. In this novel, however, even George Sansi himself is less than heroic as he investigates a toxic chemical spill which has killed over a thousand religious pilgrims cremating their loved ones on the banks of the Ganga. In previous novels Annie Ginnaro, Sansi's American girlfriend, keeps him human for the reader, or at least understandable and sympathetic to an American audience. But in Burning Ghats, Annie is not a player, hurt by Sansi's one-night betrayal with a former lover, the Environment minister, and distanced by his relocation. Even at the conclusion of the novel, Sansi is not the complete hero, as Mann uses a deus-ex-machina outside element to resolve some of the most burning issues. Without Annie or someone else with whom he can express a soft side, Sansi may be succumbing to some of the forces he is fighting. Perhaps this is a realistic response, but one hopes for more hope both for Sansi and for India in future Sansi novels.
