He knows just enough to be dangerous. A foreigner in India, wrongfully detained--will he escape before he disappears forever?

Red Benjamin took a wrong turn and missed the American Dream. Stuck in a dead-end job, constantly at odds with his father, and overshadowed by his successful brother, the sixty-two-year-old longs for something more. After years of exploring India on his couch, he finally stops postponing and books the trip of a lifetime.

But the moment he arrives in Delhi; his adventure spirals out of control. A heated exchange at customs exposes his unusual depth of knowledge, drawing suspicion. Detained as a suspected criminal, he's thrown into a communal cell with dangerous men--only to be smuggled out by a gang and trafficked to a remote village. Stripped of his freedom, forced into servitude, and trapped in a ruthless underworld, Red must navigate in a world of corruption and betrayal, where one wrong move could be his last.

Can Red escape captivity and reclaim his freedom, or will India become the place where he is lost forever?

About the Author

Larry Bone is an India focused novel, columnist and feature article writer. His first novel is "Myself Lost." So far, he has written 42 articles for his Substack blog, "India Street." His articles feature an American's reflections on India's culture, history, mythology, Hindi cinema films, the Indian diaspora and similarities and differences between the cultures of India and America.His sudden realization that India was all he cared to write about occurred near the end of a Bollywood film appropriately titled, "Salaam Namaste," or "Welcome" (in this case) to India. He accepted the invitation and searched for everything he could find about India for the next 13 years. His writing process is the "pantser" method, (by the seat of the pants) wherein the author has no idea what he is going to write until the moment just before he begins.Mr. Bone lives in Elizabeth, New Jersey and is currently working on the second novel of an India quadrillage set mostly in Haryana State, India except for the last novel which occurs in a harbor next to an Indian Naval base near Chennai. His protagonists are outsiders experiencing distress, who are seeking redemption.
