Calcutta, a monstrous city of immense slums, disease and misery, is clasped in t
he foetid embrace of an ancient cult. At its decaying core is the Goddess Kali:
the dark mother of pain, four-armed and eternal, her song the sound of death and
destruction. Robert Luczak has been hired by a New York magazine to find a note
d Indian poet who has reappeared, under strange circumstances, years after he wa
s thought dead.
But nothing is simple in Calcutta, and before long Luczak's r
outine assignment turns into a nightmare ...it is rumoured that the poet has bee
n brought back to life, in a bloody and grisly ceremony of human sacrifice.
