Venom

'If you havenâ€™t read one of Colin Falconerâ€™s novels, then I promise you are in for a real roller-coaster ride of never ending intrigue ...' Mirella Patzer, Historical Novel Review

"A page-turner . . ." Booklist

â€˜I will survive,â€™ he promised the black silence. â€˜I will survive and I will come back to haunt you. All of you ...â€™

It began like a page from the Kama Sutra; a beautiful French girl and her Indian lover locked in the white heat of illicit passion.

But Michel, the child of this illicit union is not wanted by anyone. Thrown out into the dangerous streets, he grows into a ferocious manhood in the alleys of wartime Saigon. He remembers every beating, and every betrayal. Possessed of a raw sexuality and the flair of a master criminal, he learns not only to survive, but to thrive in his pitiless world.

And the past is never forgotten. Twenty years later, in a quiet French suburb, a young French girl makes her way home to her apartment unaware of the eyes that are watching her, or the terrible secrets her parents have brought with them from a dark, colonial past.

Meanwhile, in Interpol headquarters, Captain Rene Budjinski tries to make sense of the stream of telexes that reach his desk in St Cloud from all over the world, a trail of blood that stretches from the backstreets of Bombay even to the boulevards of Paris.

Driven by an agenda of his own, he follows the serpentine trail from the neon streets of Bangkok to the ancient banks of the Ganges. He cannot imagine where that search will lead him, or the young woman who promises to help him.

And when the judgeâ€™s gavel cracks across a Delhi courtroom and the world waits for justice, Michelâ€™s destiny will hang on one last ironic twist of fate ...
