SPANNING 50 YEARS and two continents, The Death of Mr. Love fuses myth and murder, fact and fiction, in a spellbinding evocation of the psychosexual undergrowth of Indian life. The reverberations from the notorious Nanavati society murder in 1950s Bombay--the fatal consequence of a doomed love triangle involving an Indian playboy, his married English lover and her jealous Indian husband--were so great they reached the offices of Prime Minister Nehru and changed the face of the Indian justice system. But there was a connected crime, an unreported and unpunished event so cruel it destroyed the lives of two women...
In contemporary London, Bhalu, a bookseller, unexpectedly meets his childhood friend, Phoebe, 40 years after their idyllic upbringing in India. Together they will return to their homeland to solve the mystery of this long-buried crime and exact revenge for the women involved--their mothers. But in the simmering bazaars of Bombay, the adversary they seek still wields enormous power, and soon the friends find themselves in real danger.
