  Guns, drugs, sex and espionage in Kashmir: a novel that does for this generation what Catch 22 and Trainspotting did for theirs. Minty Mehta (a.k.a. MM) likes to play dangerously. When shooting a documentary in Kashmir about the Indian army and their conflict with the Pakistanis, he likes to indulge in a spot of parachute-jumping with Major Rodrigues, doubling the thrill with a snort of amphetamine or Lady -H on the way down. Even when a Sikh officer dies on a jump it doesn't deter them from their headlong pursuit of hedonism; but it soon becomes clear MM doesn't really trust Rodrigues, for reasons that will become apparent after a raid on a village which offers shelter to the Muslims. At Bunker 13 a massacre of civilians occurs along with the quarry but what lands in the Indian officers' possession is some very re-saleable military hardware and 100kg of the finest grade heroin you can find.
