Аннотация

Как известно, ни одно из канонических Евангелий не является аутентичным текстом. Есть мнение, что канонические Евангелия диктовались Богом. А как был рождён сын дьявола? Наивно предполагать, что антипод Господа, зная о рождении Сына Бога, не сделал бы тоже самое. В этой книге описано рождение сына дьявола на Земле – «Евангелие от сатаны». С помощью колдовских чар князь тьмы вступает с царицей Изидой в близкие отношения. Рождается дьяволенок. Жрец Унхатон и астролог Месхет пытаются убить сына сатаны. Дьяволу удается спасти своего наследника и вывезти его из Египта в Рим.

Inspector Ganesh Ghote of the Bombay CID is flattered when he's expressly summoned by a former ambassador, Surinder Mehta, to investigate a mysterious murder in the faraway hill station of Ootacamund. A body has been found on the billiard table at the genteel Ooty Club, a gathering place for well-to-do Indians and Englishmen – and the influential Mehta believes that only Ghote will be able to solve the crime. On arrival, Ghote discovers, to his dismay, that Mehta, an aging crime buff steeped in classic British mysteries, believes him to be a Great Detective, with powers of deduction second only to Sherlock Holmes or Hercule Poirot. Ghote, trapped unwillingly in a second-rate detective story, decides that the only way to end this charade is to solve the case. But as he interrogates the motley group of suspects, his unreliable Watson spouting increasingly wild pet theories, he begins to despair of ever discovering the truth . . .

Inspector Ganesh Ghote of the Bombay CID is in the worst trouble of his career so far. Given a task which at first seems merely embarrassing – that of escorting an aging British film star on a tour of Bombay's notorious red-light district, the 'Cages' – he is, before long, confronted with something infinitely worse: murder. But this isn't the end of his troubles. For the sole suspect is none other than the Sheriff of Bombay: respected holder of the honorary legal office, an ex-Rajah and former captain of India's cricket team. And he is a suspect only because Ghote had a swift glimpse of his face – as he hurriedly left a house of ill-repute. The gentle but tenacious detective shudders to think of the investigation ahead of him. What humiliations will he have to suffer as he searches for proof, he wonders. What sights will he see? Who will he encounter? And – above all – how will he explain what he has learnt to his wife?

Inspector Ghote, 'one of the great creations of detective fiction' (Alexander McCall Smith), is sent to the remote Indian countryside to protect a formidable retired judge who's been receiving death threats in this classic mystery - with a brand-new introduction by bestselling author Vaseem Khan. Inspector Ganesh Ghote of the Bombay CID is ordered off to the remote, heat-soaked Indian countryside to protect an aged, unpopular and rigidly obstinate judge of the British Raj era, against whom death threats have been made. In the old house, Ghote soon finds that his chief opponent is not the unknown who has been leaving Justice Sir Asif Ibrahim threatening letters, but the formidable, iron-principled old judge himself, who dismisses the threats as mere foolishness and refuses to cooperate with Ghote's investigation. The good inspector is determined to do his duty, and soon has both a lengthy list of suspects – including the judge's own beautiful, high-strung daughter, a radical American priest and the editor of a left-wing newspaper – and a possible motive for shutting up the judge: he is writing his memoirs, and who knows what secrets the old man is planning to reveal . . .
