Prey By The Ganges

1948. A cold, rainy night in a forest across the Ganges, deep in the heart of eastern India. An unarmed man with anger in his heart and a fortune on his person. A handsome Thakur with evil on his mind and blood on his hands. Both chasing a rare diamond, but for completely different reasons. There are the others too–the Thakur's beautiful wife, the sleazy psychopath, the angry muscleman and the corrupt dairy manager's stunning daughter. Each is a pawn in this bizarre game of life and death, and each with a story to tell. Or hide.

Growing up in Bihar through the troubled sixties and seventies, Hemant has witnessed turmoil from such close quarters, he feels he has looked into the bowels of the monster called violence. But in the same turmoil, he has come across character of extraordinary solidity–in men and women of ordinary means. Hemant says Prey By The Ganges has cooked in his mind for as long as he can remember.
