"Bhalu, call this story fiction if you want, but you must tell it because it is true, and at its heart is that murder of forty years ago which people in India still remember . . ."

The reverberations from the notorious Nanavati society murder in 1950s Bombay - the fatal consequence of an affair between an Indian playboy and his married English lover - were so great they reached the offices of Prime Minister Nehru and changed the face of the Indian justice system irrevocably.

". . . because its threats are still alive, running unbroken into the future . . ."

In modern London, Bhalu unexpectedly meets Phoebe, forty years after their idyllic childhood in India, and just as Bhalu is beginning to explore a mystery his dying mother has left him.

". . . because the uproar and sensation of the Nanavati trial hid another monstrous crime, which remains undiscovered, its perpetrator unpunished, except by these words that you will write."

Together, Bhalu and Phoebe must return to India, to uncover the second, unpunished crime that destroyed their mothers' lives, and write the last chapter of the Death of Mr Love.

Spanning the secrets of fifty years over two continents, 'The Death Of Mr Love' fuses myth and murder, fact and fiction, in a sensuous and compelling evocation of the psychosexual undergrowth of Indian life. It is a tale of stories that "begin before their beginnings, and continue beyond their ends."
