Убийство Анжелы Хэтхолл было тщательно спланировано. Единственная улика - отпечаток пальца со шрамом, похожим на букву L. Детектив Рэг Уэксфорд подозревает в убийстве мужа Анжелы Роберта Хэтхолла. Но один вопрос волнует детектива особенно - кто та таинственная женщина, с которой, как уверен Уэксфорд, Роберт Хэтхолл встречается? Есть ли у нее на пальце шрам в виду буквы L?

A Reg Wexford mystery. The Chief Inspector could discover no motive, no reason and no suspect for Mrs Hathall`s daughter-in-law`s murder - all he had were his own intuitive suspicions. Probably Angela Hathall really had picked up a stranger, and that stranger had killed her. But why the doubt?
Los Angeles, 1991. Maximilian Ophuls, one of the makers of the modern world, is knifed to death in broad daylight on the doorstep of his illegitimate daughter India, slaughtered by his Kashmiri driver, a mysterious figure who calls himself Shalimar the Clown. The dead man is a World War II Resistance hero, a man of formidable intellectual ability and much erotic appeal, a former United States ambassador to India, and subsequently America`s counter-terrorism chief. The murder looks at first like a political assassination but turns out to be passionately personal. This is the story of Max, his killer, and his daughter - and of a fourth character, the woman who links them, whose story explains them all. The story of a deep love gone fatally...
The man who was known for years as Shalimar the Clown is now a Kashmiri Muslim terrorist named Noman Sher Noman, who brutally murders Max Ophuls, an American diplomat (and counter-terrorism expert), in Los Angeles in 1991 after his wife, Boonyi, has an affair with Ophuls.

Salman Rushdie, no stranger to fanaticism and terrorism, has obviously drawn on the dramatic events of his own life for some...
