Krátky popis
Los Angeles, 1991. Maximilian Ophuls is knifed to death 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 all. The story of a deep love
gone fatally wrong, destroyed by a shallow affair, it is an epic
narrative that moves from California to France, England, and above
all, Kashmir: a ruined paradise, not so much lost as smashed.
